Is current social work with the community in the Czech republic a theory or a practice?
Deutschová, Barbora ; Pěnkava, Pavel (advisor) ; Šťastná, Jaroslava (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to draw the reader's attention to the importance and necessity of community and social work with the community, which is not anchored in the Czech Republic by any legislation. The thesis draws attention to a number of ambiguous definitions of terms and different perspectives on social work with community, although many professional materials emphasize the need for functional communities, which are often replaced by social services. My thesis presents a deaf understanding of terms relating to community and community work. The emergence and gradual development of community social work then expands and refines the understanding of community work and its impact on society as a whole. The role of the social or community worker themselves then plays a crucial role in social work with the community, with clarification of their remit and job description being an essential part of social work with the community. The starting point for this work is the national and regional strategic documents that influence the direction of social work. The thesis then turns to research to answer the key question of whether current social work with the community in the Czech Republic is theory or practice.

Social work with homeless people serving a custodial sentence
Deutschová, Barbora ; Pěnkava, Pavel (advisor) ; Ripka, Štěpán (referee)
The aim of this bachelor's thesis is to introduce the reader to the work of a social worker with homeless people serving prison sentences during all the phases of their sentence. It defines the specifics of social work in prisons and describes the various types of situation that most convicts experience and the ways in which these situations may be resolved. The work also covers the definition of the roles of prison social worker, social curator and social worker for a non-profit organization, and effective ways in which they can work together. Several independent studies have found that social work has a significant impact on reducing recidivism and crime in general, since it serves as an effective tool not only when working with people in prison, but also as a tool to prevent crime. In my case studies, therefore, I show how to do the kind of social work that we already know is reducing recidivism. The benefit of my work lies in a deeper understanding of the mechanisms behind the quantitative results of social work. Keywords Social work, recidivism, offender, sentence, prison, homeless person
