Čermák, Jakub ; Štourač, Petr (advisor) ; Musil, Jan (referee)
The methodology for investigation of drug-related crime is the topic of this thesis. There are a few reasons why I have chosen this topic. The issue of drugs, drug-related crime, drug addiction and also illegal drug traffic has become recently the worldwide problem which intervenes into many areas of human life and therefore we must constantly pay attention to it. Especially this fact, together with other reasons as my personal connection with drug issue (few-year-long involvement in the program focused on the primary prevention from drugs at secondary schools) made me to choose this topic. My thesis is divided into 6 parts. In the first two chapters I define the general notions related to the drug issue and I provide with the division of drugs into groups under chosen criteria. For the better orientation in this issue I have listed the most common types of drugs with the description of their effect on the organism of humans. In the third part of my thesis I focus on the criminal prosecution of drug offences and the historical development of the legal regulation of this issue.

Criminological Aspects of Drug-Related Crime
Spišák, Anton ; Hořák, Jaromír (referee)
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. In this context the thesis analyzes the drugs` impact on secondary drug-related crime, the death rate and health of their users and additional negative social and economic consequences related to such drugs. Following the evaluation of these harmful effects the thesis proposes potential changes to policy on such drugs and compares it to policies of foreign countries on individual drugs. These changes consist of various proposals including the decriminalization or legalization of certain means of handling of individual drugs. The thesis also examines national legislation currently in force related to selected individual drugs. Its conclusions are reached through a variety of researches and statistical data. The thesis consists of eight chapters which are preceded by a brief introduction to the selected topic. The first chapter lays out basic terminology used in this thesis. The second chapter deals with historical cases of drug policies such as the Chinese policy on opium in 19th and 20th century or the prohibition in the United States between 1920...

Criminological Aspects of Drug-Related Crime
Cieslar, Tomáš ; Zeman, Petr (advisor) ; Bohuslav, Lukáš (referee)
This thesis deals with selected issues of criminological aspects of primary drug-related crime conducted in the Czech Republic, focusing mainly on the criminal offence of unauthorised production and other disposal with narcotic and psychotropic substances and poisons under section 283 of the Czech Criminal Code. The theoretical part of the thesis describes drug- related crime in general, it also discusses the Czech legislation regarding drug-related criminal offences in the Criminal Code, and it also focuses on theoretical approaches regarding the sentencing of drug-related crime. The empirical part features a quantitative analysis of a selected representative sample of 300 Czech court decisions enunciated in 2015 and 2016. This analysis addresses the trends of conducting drug-related crime and the sentences imposed by Czech courts. Attention is given to the differences in sentencing perpetrators disposing with different drugs, particularly cannabis and methamphetamine, and perpetrators conducting different prohibited activities related to the drugs (such as producing, retailing, etc). The analysis also focuses on using the institutes of imposing protective measures and adequate restrictions or duties.
