Criminological aspects of drug-related crime Abstract This master`s thesis deals with a number of criminological aspects and issues related to drug-related criminality, in particular with legislation that takes into account the specific impact of selected drugs.

Drug Policy in the Third Reich: Ideology vs. Practice
Staňková, Marie ; Šmidrkal, Václav (advisor) ; Kučera, Rudolf (referee)
This final bachelor's thesis deals with the topic of drug policy in the Third Reich and aims to map the contradiction that arose in the challenging conditions of World War II between the official Nazi ideology, on which the legislation of that time was based, and practice in the German army and among Nazi top leaders. In the first part, the presented paper deals with legislation concerning narcotics and addictive substances in the period of the Weimar Republic and subsequently in the period of the Third Reich, including several international conventions that were binding for the member states of the League of Nations, where Germany was a member till 1933. In the second part, the paper focuses on scientific research in the field of chemistry and pharmacy, in the thirties of the 20th century which resulted in development of addictive stimulants. Their use in the armed forces of the German Wehrmacht and among the highest Nazi leaders is then dealt with in the third part of this paper. In conclusion, the thesis summarizes the discrepancy that arose in this regard during the Second World War between the state-constituting Nazi ideology and war practice.

Drop-In Centres and New Drugs
KAMENÍKOVÁ, Klára
In my work I focus on the issue of new synthetic substances and on the specifics of social work with users of these substances in contact centers in the Czech Republic. The goal of this work was to describe the specifics of social work in contact centers with users of new synthetic substances. The research question was chosen: "How do social workers work with users of new drugs?" In the theoretical part I focus on drugs in general, characterization and distribution of drugs. I define the concept of new drugs, new synthetic substances, their division and effects. I also define the list of addictive substances and its influence on the drug scene. Then I focus on the specifics of social work within drugs, mainly on contact work and the harm reduction philosophy. The last chapter is devoted to drug policy. The practical part is a qualitative research, where I questioned respondents using the technique of semi-structured interview. Interviews were conducted with employees of various contact centers in the Czech Republic, specifically in Jihlava, Písek and Trutnov. The data from the interviews were evaluated using the grounded theory method, on which the topic of research fits the best. Research has shown, that there are no specific approaches to working with users of new synthetic substances. This work uses principles that apply to working with users of ordinary drugs. These include contact work, the harm reduction philosophy, a relatively new hard & smart approach, and also a new approach, working mainly with new substances, should appear in the future and that is testing the quality of substances at events and contact centers. This work could be beneficial as it could be used by the employees of contact centers and other addictological workplaces, e.g. addictological outpatient clinics, as well as the lay public interested in this issue or students of related fields.
