Crimes committed under the influence of alcohol
Dvořáková, Jana ; Štefunková, Michaela (advisor) ; Zeman, Petr (referee)
I processed a bachelor's work on the subject of "Criminal activity under the influence of alcohol." The work consists of two parts: theoretical and practical. The first part focuses mainly on the problematic of alcohol abuse and on the influence of alcohol on the human organism. Individual stages are addressed - intoxication with alcohol and types of insobriety. Further, the changes (e.g. functional) regarding human organism are addressed. The second part describes abuse of alcohol as a criminogenic factor and criminal activity related to the consumption of alcohol. In the practical part, based on studying selected cases of the Regional Court in Prague, where offenders committed criminal activities under the influence of alcohol, the influence of this addictive substance on particular behavior of an individual, their personality and environment where they live is researched. The conclusions are confronted with in practice enforced preventive measured in the framework of the Czech Republic - in terms of entirety and effectiveness. The aim of my work is to confirm a hypothesis regarding the harmfulness (danger) of alcohol abuse by an individual for society, in terms of criminality.
