Fabová, Lucia ; Melzochová, Jitka (advisor) ; Brožová, Dagmar (referee)
Paper examines the relationship between unemployment and property crime activity. The analysis is conducted by the method of fixed effects on panel data for 14 regions of the Czech Republic. I use quarterly data from the first quarter of 2007 to the third quarter of 2013. The influence of unemployment is examined on models for 7 different property crimes: robberies, burglaries into shops, flats, houses, weekend cottages, pickpocketing and pilfering cars. After estimation the econometric model results show a positive effect of unemployment on burglaries to houses. Other monitored property crimes have not proven to be statistically significant.

Property crime with the focus on theft
Staňková, Monika ; Moravec, Tomáš (advisor) ; Žák, Květoslav (referee)
According to the name, my bachelor's thesis analyses property crime focusing especially on theft. First, I describe property crimes (part V of the criminal code), their general characteristics, possible division and then there are mentioned another parts of the criminal code or another laws that have connection with property crimes. However, the most important aim of my thesis is to deal with theft (§ 205 of the criminal code). I am focusing on the concept of theft, its general characteristics and development stages. Afterwards, I am comparing the crime theft with theft as a minor offence. The last chapter of my bachelor's thesis describes all the crucial distinctions between crimes theft and robbery. The whole thesis is based on case law.

How bussiness cycles infuence property crime?
Havlíková, Iveta ; Lahvička, Jiří (advisor) ; Babin, Jan (referee)
This thesis aims to look into a relationship between business cycles, which are represented by unemployment, and property crime. I used daily data for years 2005-2010 from Prague. Models for seven different types of crimes (Pickpockets, pilfering of motor vehicle, car theft, pilfering of shops, pilfering of restaurants and two kinds of burglaries,(flats, houses) were used to help to examine this relationship. Positive impact of unemployment on property crime was not proven. On contrary there is negative and signifficant effect of unemployment on car thefts and pilfering of shops. One percentage point growth of unemployment causes decrese of car theft by 1,2 cars for one milion inhabitants per day and by 0,32 shops for one milion inhabitants per day. Also a negative impact of state holiday and different impact of climate contitions were proven.
