Juristic, social and criminogenic aspects of violent crime.
POLATOVÁ, Kateřina
This bachelor thesis aims to find out what are the causes of violent crime on particularly vulnerable victims. The theoretical part in the first chapter defines the legal aspects of violent crime, the definition of selected crimes, the definition of crime victims and particularly vulnerable victims. The second chapter defines the concept of criminology, criminological concept of violence, characteristics of violent acts, phenomenology of violent crime, causes and conditions of violent crime, aspects of choosing a senior as a victim of crime, prevention, and repression. Finally, the impact of violent crime in society and on individuals is defined. The main goal of the practical part was to find out the causes of violent crime on particularly vulnerable victims using their own questionnaire and to confirm or refute the hypotheses that victims of violent crime are more often victims of particularly vulnerable victims than others and whether most violence is committed to parties of their loved ones.

The first chapter explains the concepts related to violent crime, and the attached overview table also lists the crimes that are classified as a violent crime. The second chapter provides information, based on the analysis of data from police statistics, on the share of violent crime in the total crime numbers, the state of violent crime in individual regions and throughout the Czech Republic and the structure of violent crime in 2020.
