Alternatives to unconditional sentence of imprisonment
Lukáš, Marek ; Šelleng, Dalibor (advisor) ; Mulák, Jiří (referee)
The subject of this master's thesis is a description of the current legislation and application practice of selected punishments that represent the main alternatives to the imposition of unconditional prison sentences. These punishments are house arrest, community service, financial penalty, suspended sentence of imprisonment and suspended sentence of imprisonment with supervision. Since each of the abovementioned punishments could be the subject of a separate master thesis, this thesis does not aim to describe the subject matter in detail, but rather to present the individual institutes in their mutual context, to compare their characteristic features, purpose, conditions, specifics of their execution, as well as their use in judicial practice. The thesis consists of eight chapters, three of which are of a general nature, four deal with individual penalties and the last one is devoted to de lege ferenda proposals. The first chapter defines the very concept of criminal punishment and its purpose. A substantial part of the chapter is devoted to the historical development of penology theories regarding the purpose of the criminal punishment, with special focus on the transition from a retributive and punitive view of punishment to the concept of restorative justice.

Plachká, Kateřina ; Šelleng, Dalibor (advisor) ; Mulák, Jiří (referee)
Activity of the Probation and Mediation Service in the Czech Republic Abstract and keywords The presented thesis deals with the position of the probation and mediation service (PMS) within the criminal law policy of the Czech Republic, its procedures in the field of probation, mediation and other actions it performs within the framework of the criminal process with adult offenders. This work covers juvenile offenders minimally. The aim is to broadly cover the entire activity and role of the probation and mediation service during criminal proceedings. For that reason, the work is divided into several basic sections. The first section deals with the question of punishment and different approaches to this issue, especially in terms of retributive versus restorative justice. A closer examination of the current use of these two approaches shows that we should not even set them against each other, but rather side by side. Furthermore, the work focuses on PMS as an institution. It deals with the way in which it was created, what are its main goals, the purpose for which it was established, but also how it is organized. The work also highlights some of the challenges and problems it currently faces, although overall we can declare its existence to be very beneficial. We discuss the tools through which it achieves...

Expert evidence in criminal proceedings
Borčevský, Pavel ; Musil, Jan (advisor) ; Gřivna, Tomáš (referee) ; Sváček, Jan (referee)
This thesis addresses the use of expert evidence in criminal trial proceedings. The author's primary aim is to present a thorough analysis of this highly specific form of evidence as contained in the Criminal Procedure Code, Act No. 141/1961 Coll., to identify its insufficiencies, and to suggest some potential legislative modifications. The author is aware that the role of an expert in criminal proceedings is also determined in part by the Act on Experts and Interpreters, Act No. 36/1967 Coll., but he deals with this organizational norm only marginally, as his main goal is to analyze the possibilities of using expert evaluations within the framework of criminal procedure. In this thesis, the author describes the historical development of this type of evidence, discusses the concept of the role of the expert in legal theory, and above all, presents his views regarding the law currently in effect, describing the use of expert evidence from its initial stages of appointment of an expert to the preparation and presentation of the expert opinion and the evaluation thereof. The author also takes account of some currently topical issues such as the confrontation of experts and the use of computer software in the expert's work. Given that recodification of the Criminal Procedure Code is currently underway,...
