The issues of juvenile criminal justice The topic of this diploma thesis is the issues of juvenile criminal justice.

Criminal Liability and Imposing of Sanctions on Juveniles
Němcová, Alena
SUMMARY: CRIMINAL LIABILITY AND IMPOSING OF SANCTIONS ON JUVENILES A separate legal rule regulating criminal liability and judiciary over the youth has appeared again in the legal order of the Czech Republic since the year 2003. Although the Czech law knew the judiciary over the youth in the past, this rule is considered as a repeated break with the legislation, because after several decades, there has been again a criminal rule applicable specifically to persons younger than eighteen years. The legislator returned to a legal regulation similar to that being in force in Czechoslovakia in the thirties of the 20th century. The act on judiciary over the youth valid at that time has become a significant inspiration to the present legislator which has been continuing in modern legal regulation valid in Czechoslovakia from the year 1931. The then legal regulation as well as the present one reacts to the now preferred legal or sociological premises of punishment and the purpose of punishment. The basic theoretical premise which the legislator supports is the principle of restorative justice, but we can trace the impact of also other legal, sociological or philosophical attitudes in the act on judiciary of the youth. The currently valid act No. 218/2003 Coll., on liability of the youth for wrongful acts and on...

The thesis is divided into theoretical and practical part. Theoretical part first defines criminological aspects of juvenile deliquency and then deals with etiology of juvenile deliquency.

An overview of juvenile criminal activities in years 2011 2016 was drawn up based on the research. Hypotheses were determined in the research: H1: I suppose that in families with unfavorable economical and social conditions there will be more frequent occurrence of deliquent behavior amongst juveniles. H1a: I suppose that in families with unfavorable economical and social conditions there will be more frequent occurrence of property deliquent behavior amongst juveniles. Chosen hypotheses were confirmed. Research shows that juveniles from socially weaker classes are more prone to deliquency and criminality.
