Security detention in the Czech Republic and its legal regulation in England and Wales
Bye, Zuzana ; Vanduchová, Marie (advisor) ; Vokoun, Rudolf (referee)
Security detention represents a new type of protective measure, which became part of the first amendment to the Criminal Code and then in the broader sense of its recodification, with effect from 1.1.2009, respectively 2010. Security detention aimed to deal with a pressing social problem regarding the treatment of certain particularly dangerous patiens in psychiatric hospitals. While studying the problem I contacted the then chief of the detention Institute in Brno, MD. Petr Stožický who provided me with qualified information on the practical operation of the first detention institute within the Czech Republic. The available laws, comments and controversy in 2010 ranged broadly at a theoretical level. The study contains the legislation of a similar programme in England and Wales.

Protective Treatment and Secure Detention
Řepková, Dita ; Jelínek, Jiří (advisor) ; Heranová, Simona (referee) ; Nett, Alexander (referee)
PROTECTIVE TREATMENT AND SECURE DETENTION This thesis addresses the legislation governing protective treatment and secure detention, which in Czech criminal law is one of the protective measures that have become an integral part of Czechoslovak and Czech criminal codes since 1950. I focused on a detailed analysis of the current legislation of protective treatment in the form of either outpatient, or institutional and secure detention. The aim of the thesis was to evaluate whether the legislation of both measures would stand from the point of view of the principle of subsidiarity of secure detention in relation to protective treatment, not only in the interpretation of statutory provisions, but particularly in their application by the ordinary courts. I have examined the decisions of the ordinary courts regarding case law of the Constitutional Court and the European Court of Human Rights. To address this issue, I have used both standard and classical methods and techniques of criminological research, in particular document analysis and an analysis of available statistical data from the official departmental databases of the Czech Ministry of Justice and the Czech Prison Service. The legislation of these measures was also examined from the point of view of an historical analysis of legal documents. A...

Protective treatment and security detention
Doležalová, Kristýna ; Hořák, Jaromír (advisor) ; Pelc, Vladimír (referee)
Protective treatment and security detention Abstract The topic of the diploma thesis is protective treatment and security detention. These are two criminal sanctions and protective measures, that may be used by state as a reaction to committed criminal offence or other offence. A penalty is not in some cases adequate sanction to committed criminal offence and that is the reason why we have protective measures - to protect society and to help to the offender. The protective treatment and the security detention are mutually connected sanctions. As well, the security detention is a protective measure that is subsidiary to the protective treatment. The diploma thesis is divided into five chapters. The first chapter deals with general legal regulations of protective measures. This chapter also contains comparation between penalties and protective measures. The second chapter discuss basic terms that are used in the criminal code to lay down conditions in which the protective treatment and the security detention may be imposed. The third and the fourth chapters are the main chapters in the diploma thesis. The third chapter and the fourth chapter deal with the protective treatment and the security detention itself. These chapters are for easier orientation and comparation of both protective measures arranged in a...

Rohnová, Anna ; Hořák, Jaromír (advisor) ; Pelc, Vladimír (referee)
Protective therapy and preventive detention Abstract The aim of the diploma thesis is to provide a comprehensive description of protective measures with an emphasis on two specific protective measures, namely protective treatment and security detention. These are criminal sanctions that are the result not only of a criminal offense, but also of an otherwise criminal offense. The basic function of these measures is not only to protect society from dangerous persons who have committed harmful acts on the basis of their mental disorder, sexual deviance or dependence on alcohol or other addictive substances, but also therapeutic effect on the personalities of these offenders so that their danger to society as minimized as possible and allowed them to return to normal life. The introductory chapters contain the basic characteristics of protective measures, their comparison with penalties and a brief description of the remaining protective measures, ie the institute will prevent things, prevent part of the property and protective education. The following chapter deals with the basic concepts that are closely related to both institutes, and whose understanding is crucial for grasping the whole issue. In the following chapters, I then deal in detail with the individual aspects of protective treatment and security...

The position of security detention in the system of criminal sanctions
DVOŘÁKOVÁ, Vendula
The dissertation thesis The position of security detention in the system of criminal sanctions has a theoretical character with the aim to provide a comprehensive overview of the development, implementation and the up to date application of security detention. In connection with the study and factual analysis of the issue, the thesis was divided in several chapters. The content and meaning of some basic terms is defined in the first chapter. The second chapter reflects the development of security detention from the perspective of a broader legal comparison and the legislative process of the Act on Security detention execution. The chapter is focuses on pointing out the complexity and pitfalls of security detention development. The third chapter is devoted to the legal regulation of security detention in the current legal system and is divided into subchapters to interpret the individual legal regulations. The fourth chapter is dedicated to the personality of the offender and basic criminal liability. The fifth chapter is designed to point out the category of offenders from a medical perspective. Chapter six then deals with the application of security detention itself and the constitution in the Czech Republic describing the quality of life of inmates. The last chapter of the thesis focuses on the post-detention care itself. The interpretative analysis of primary and secondary sources showed that security detention is an inevitable part of protective measures in terms of increasing the usability of this measure and simultaneously fulfilling the capacity of security detention institutes in the Czech Republic.

Rejfek, Tomáš ; Tlapák Navrátilová, Jana (advisor) ; Gřivna, Tomáš (referee)
- PROTECTIVE THERAPY AND PREVENTIVE DETENTION This paper is concerning two types of protective measures in Czech criminal law - protective therapy and preventive detention. The goal was to introduce and then deeply analyze these two legal institutes. I particularly focused on preventive detention as it was only recently put in force in the Czech republic. In the introductory chapter, I briefly described the nature of protective measures as a whole. I also outlined some major differences between protective measures and penalties, gave some insight into the history of protective measures in Czech lands and explained a few important terms, e.g. insanity or drug addiction, which are widely used in this area of law. The following chapter deals with protective therapy and its key features, namely its imposing, execution and duration. The next one summarizes basic elements of preventive detention, which are in many ways similar to those in the previous chapter. I tried to point out the grounds on which preventive detention was embraced by Czech law and also to analyze the differences between both these protective measures. In this thesis I included some major court decisions with paramount importance and I also have done a short comparison of statutes governing preventive detention in a few foreign...
