Skolil, Ondřej ; Bohuslav, Lukáš (advisor) ; Vokoun, Rudolf (referee)
Agreement on guilt and punishment - Abstract The topic of this rigorous thesis is an institute of an agreement on guilt and punishment, which is one of the diversions in criminal proceedings that is regulated by our criminal law. Given that the institute of the agreement on guilt and punishment is conceptually subordinated to just mentioned concept of diversions in criminal proceedings, this thesis does not deal only with the institute of agreement on guilt and punishment, but also with all other diversions in criminal proceedings, which are regulated by our criminal law. The main usage goal of the institute of an agreement on guilt and punishment is to simplify and speed up the entire criminal proceedings, when thanks to a conclusion of an agreement on guilt and punishment, the entire criminal proceedings can come to a successful conclusion relatively quickly. This thesis is divided into three chapters.

Part of this chapter are also statistics, thanks to which the reader of this thesis can find out to what extent the diversion is used...

Settlement in criminal proceedings
Skolil, Ondřej ; Bohuslav, Lukáš (advisor) ; Vokoun, Rudolf (referee)
Settlement in criminal proceeding - Abstract The topic of this diploma thesis is settlement in criminal proceedings, which is one of the diversions, which has had its position in our criminal procedure law for more than 20 years. The settlement is a diversion, which contains the most restorative justice principles. This is the reason, why the text of this thesis does not only deal with the settlement itself, but also with other diversions, as well as with the restorative justice principles. The main objective of this principle is not punishing the offender, but restoring the disturbed relationships between the offender and the victim. Despite the fact that the settlement is beneficial for defendant, because it leads to cessation of prosecution, for victim, who has an easier access to obtain their compensation and also for the whole society, because it prevents the defendant to commit other crimes, it is not used so often in practice as much as for example conditional suspension of criminal prosecution. The thesis is divided into three chapters. The first chapter deals with the term diversion, restorative justice function principles and then with all types of diversions, which are enacted by our criminal procedure law. The statistics then show sometimes giant differences in the usage of particular types of...

Settlement in criminal proceedings
Neužil, Zdeněk ; Bohuslav, Lukáš (advisor) ; Vokoun, Rudolf (referee)
This diploma thesis addresses issues of the institute of settlement in. The institute of settlement is one of the diversions in criminal proceedings. Diversions (divergences) in criminal proceedings are construed as special types of criminal proceedings, alternative to standard hearing of a case in main trial, within which the criminal case can be settled.

The essence of the institute of settlement is a conclusion of an agreement between the accused person and the damaged person. Such agreement is then approved and the criminal prosecution against the accused person is therefore terminated. It is thus achieved the settlement and elimination of the confrontation which was caused as a result of the committed crime between the accused person and the damaged person concerned. Title: Settlement in criminal proceedings Key words: Settlement; settlement of the confrontation between the accused person and the damaged person; approval of the settlement; diversion in criminal proceedings; Code of criminal procedure; restorative justice

Settlement in criminal proceedings
Hegerová, Klára ; Bohuslav, Lukáš (advisor) ; Vokoun, Rudolf (referee)
The topic of this diploma thesis is the settlement in criminal proceedings, one of diversions, or also alternatives to typical course and outcome of criminal proceedings. The settlement was incorporated into the Czech Criminal Procedure Code by the amendment n. 152/1995 Sb. with the effect on 1st September 1995. The settlement is an institute of criminal procedure law originating in restorative justice principles and its goal is to restore affected relationship between the defendant and the victim. Then proceedings of the settlement should not serve only to compensate the victim, as is sometimes perceived by the public, but also to clarify causes of the conflict during the active participation of both parties and to assume personal responsibility for the crime committed which may have significant effects in terms of criminal prevention. Despite the fact that the settlement is a form of diversion beneficial to the defendant (it leads to cessation of prosecution), victim (it is faster to obtain the compensation) and society (prevention from committing other crimes, relieving courts in favour of complex and serious crimes), it is rarely used in practice. In the first chapter I generally deal with the concept of diversions in criminal proceedings, their fundamental characteristics and common features...
