Neužil, Zdeněk ; Bohuslav, Lukáš (advisor) ; Richter, Martin (referee)
Příloha k rigorózní práci "Abstract" Title: Alternative punishments in criminal law - purpose and use in praxis Topic: Criminal law Author: Mgr. Zdeněk Neužil Abstract This rigorous thesis deals with the topic of alternative punishments and their use within the penal system of criminal law. Alternative punishments are generally defined as punishments (criminal sanctions) that are alternatives to the custodial sentence (unconditional imprisonment) served in prison. The fundamental attribute of alternative punishments is therefore the fact that the application of alternative punishments does not involve the offender's removal from the society and their isolation in prison. The subject matter concerning alternative punishments within the domain of criminal law has garnered increasing significance in recent years. This surge in interest is attributed to the augmented focus on punitive measures, namely criminal sanctions, that do not necessitate immediate imprisonment. In fact, the main benefits of alternative punishments include the elimination of the negative effects related to imprisonment, the reduction of financial costs associated with imprisonment and supporting the use of prison capacities for offenders who commited the most serious crimes. The main objective of this rigorous thesis is to provide a...

Deterrence in counter-terrorism: the case of Nigeria
Tongpan, Timothy Yusufu ; Karásek, Tomáš (advisor) ; Solovyeva, Anzhelika (referee)
To assess the effectiveness of deterrence measures, we adopt data from the Global Terrorism Index (GTI). The GTI provides comprehensive assessments of trends and patterns of terrorism across different regions and countries and offers a framework for evaluating the effectiveness of counter- terrorism strategies. Our analysis will evaluate the impact of deterrence measures on reducing terrorist activities in Nigeria and identify the key factors that contribute to the success or failure of deterrence. This study's findings will be of significant interest to policymakers, security experts, and the broader Counter-terrorism has been a critical issue in Nigeria over the last decade, with terrorist groups such as Boko Haram posing a significant threat to the country's security and stability. In response, the Nigerian government has implemented various strategies, including deterrence, to combat this menace. Deterrence refers to the use of measures aimed at discouraging potential terrorists from engaging in violent activities. The effectiveness of deterrence in Nigeria's counter-terrorism strategy between 2009 and 2019, with a case study of Boko Haram, is the focus of this study. The period under review is significant as it marks the rise of Boko Haram and its transformation into a formidable terrorist...

Stará, Renata ; Vokoun, Rudolf (advisor) ; Mulák, Jiří (referee)
The imposition of the punitive measure of unconditional imprisonment on juveniles and its execution Abstract This rigorous work deals with the imposition of the punitive measure of unconditional imprisonment on juveniles and its execution and aims to expound the process of imposing and executing this most severe criminal measure. The aim of the thesis is also to point out the lack of legal regulation and its practice. In general, juvenile criminal law is very specific as juveniles are individuals who are still developing; the chapters of this thesis are therefore focused mainly on the specifics by which unconditional imprisonment of juveniles differs from unconditional imprisonment of adults. Even though the application of diversions and alternative punishments is, according to the principle of restorative justice, currently preferred, the issue of unconditional imprisonment is still often discussed, which is why I believe that it is still a topical issue. The thesis is divided into six successive chapters; the merit of the thesis is covered mainly in the third and fourth chapter. The first chapter is focused on the substantive and procedural specifics of juvenile criminal law which are reflected in various criminal law issues. The beginning of this chapter deals with the history of juvenile criminal law....

- 105 - THESIS TITLE, ABSTRACT AND KEYWORDS Alternatives to unconditional imprisonment This master thesis focuses on alternatives to unconditional imprisonment. The main objective of this thesis is to provide a comprehensive analysis of alternative sentences and the basis for their imposition. The thesis includes a detailed analysis of each alternative punishment, including its historical context, the specifics of its imposition, execution and supervision. In order to maintain the integrity of the topic, the first part offers an insight into punishment and defines the purpose of punishment in general. Attention is also paid to the description of unconditional imprisonment, which is necessary to further understand the concept of alternative sentences as well as to compare the pros and cons of different arrangements. The greatest emphasis in this thesis lies on providing a detailed analysis of alternatives to unconditional imprisonment that are capable of fully replacing the unconditional imprisonment. Specifically, these include suspended imprisonment, suspended imprisonment with supervision, house arrest, financial penalty and community service.

Novotná, Andrea ; Vávra, Martin (advisor) ; Gramskopf, Rostislav (referee)
The submitted diploma thesis focuses on the discursive analysis of period documents, drawn from archives, laws, parliamentary debates, other expert texts and researches. The aim of the diploma thesis is to find an answer to the question of how public policies approached to crime and punishment of Roma during the 20th century in the Czechoslovakia, later in the Czech Republic (from 1918 to 2000). The diploma thesis seeks to reveal how public policies approached the Roma as a minority in general, what information they based their decisions on their punishment, what measures they proposed for their re-education and assimilation, and how the public was informed through the periodical and therefore how it was formed public opinion about this minority. The analytical part of the work is based on the basic ideas of important sociologists, including Anthony Giddens, Erving Goffman, Pierre Bourdieu and Michel Foucault. Keywords: Roma, period documents, punishment, public policy, assimilation

Hanus, Adam ; Tlapák Navrátilová, Jana (advisor) ; Vanduchová, Marie (referee)
The main aim of this thesis was to define one of the alternative punishments - community service from different points of view. Firstly from a historical and descriptive point of view, regarding procedural aspects and further specifics, namely cooperation with the Probation and Mediation Service. Further the thesis outlined the alternative end of the performance, specifically postponing the sentence, parole and waiving of sentence, which may happen to the offender in certain cases. Pros and cons of this kind of punishment were discussed in detail and also its position in the system of penalties, especially competition with the punishmnt house arrest. This thesis also contains a procedure for failure regarding the sentence of community service, thus transforming the prison sentence into inprisonment, the range of conditions, and other aspects. Part of the work includes a comparison with other countries, especially Slovak Republic, having this kind of punishment for a shorter time. The second half of the thesis deals with partially unfulfilled potential regarding sentence of community service, its and ability to empty the prisons and become a universal punishment used in case of most minor offenses. This thesis also included enumeration of the conditions that must be fulfilled to ensure that this...
