1 Legal regulation of firearms Abstract in english: The thesis sets up three main objectives. Firstly to enrich the public debate by verifying numerous historical arguments, which objectivity and relevancy is unclear.

To an extend this thesis verifies this notion based on historical analysis of past czech and czechoslovakian legal regulation. On the other hand presented outcome of sociological research brings up the fact that weapon at the societal level private possession of firearms does not increase the safety of individual citizens. Sociology also offers enlightement on the reasons why we seek to own and carry weapon and why we fear them. Often these reasons are similarily questionable. The second objective was to provide deeper analysis of tangible outcomes of the debate itself. At the level of European union such an outcome is the Directive 2017/853 of the European Parliament and Council of May 2017 amending Council Directive 91/477/EEC on control of the acquisition and possession...

The influence of legally owned firearms on crime in the Czech Republic.
Převrátil, David ; Stroukal, Dominik (advisor) ; Brožová, Dagmar (referee)
The work aims to analyze the influence of the number of legally owned firearms on crime in the Czech Republic. The main hypothesis is chosen on the basis of previous empirical research from the United States. The work assumes that the effect of the number of legally owned firearms held by civilians has a negative impact on the overall crime rate in the Czech Republic. The hypothesis is tested by using the metodology of regression analysis of time series for the whole country between the years 2003 - 2013 and regression analysis of panel data for 14 regions in the Czech Republic between the years 2009 - 2013. Based on the obtained data six models observing the effect of the number of firearms and the number of firearm license owners to overall crime, murder and burglary and theft. The result is the finding of a positive impact on the number of legal guns in overall crime in the country. Unfortunately, the observed variable of legally owned firearms is statistically insignificant in all models. The work opens up new possibilities for further study of the influence of firearms on crime in the Czech Republic.

Analysis of suicidal behavior manifested by firearm usage in the Czech Republic in the period of 2004 to 2008 regarding selected demographic characteristics.
BAMBAS, Vladislav
Bachelor thesis deals with the issue of successfully committed suicides by firearm usage in the period of 2004 to 2008. The first part summarizes the current knowledge, introduces the definition of suicide, a brief history of suicide, motivation and ways of suicide commitment. Details on suicides committed by shooting themselves are mentioned. The second part is devoted to the research that was carried out, deals with analyzing the current state of successfully committed suicides by shooting themselves. The aim was to determine whether there is an increase in suicide rate committed by shooting themselves. In the period of 2004 to 2008 suicidal behavior analysis was carried out according to the age, sex, motives for suicide, belonging to a social group, education and the type of gun ownership. The aim was to verify if the police suicide registration is sufficient in relation to the reasons for its introduction. To meet the research goals the secondary data analysis was used, the baseline data were obtained from internal databases of the Police of the Czech Republic. Data analysis revealed that the increase in the rate of suicide by firearm usage was not recorded, more men than women commit suicide by shooting themselves and in most cases legally possessed firearms are used to suicide commitment. Firearm suicides are committed more likely by adults and the elderly, minimally by adolescents. In the largest group of self-murderers the motif was not identified, the most frequent motif identified is a physical illness. The most vulnerable social group are the unemployed, and most suicides are committed by people with secondary education. The police suicide statistics is used by the prevention department of the Ministry of the Interior of the Czech Republic for analytical, statistical and inspection activities, the tracked markers are sufficient.
