Kosařová, Hana ; Fidesová, Hana (advisor) ; Šťastná, Lenka (referee)
Background: The topic of crime is interconnected with substance abuse users.

Literature suggests that victimization of substance abuse users is a complex issue that is linked to many other problems. Objectives: The aim of this bachelor's thesis is to map the prevalence of criminal activities committed against substance abuse users and to examine the relationships between general victim characteristics and the crimes committed against them.

A significant goal is to create at least a rough understanding of the mentioned issues, which could then serve as a foundation for further research and investigation. Methods: The research was conducted using a quantitative questionnaire in paper format. It was...

It is an area of criminology, which recently has been becoming more and more important, due to constant increase of traffic in general. Nearly every human participates in traffic every day, therefore we all are becoming potential victims or perpetrators of traffic crimes.

So the aim of this thesis is first to give a comprehensive presentation of basic knowledge about traffic criminality, and than focus on more narrowly defined subject, for which I chose criminality with participation of cyclists.

Assistance to victims of crime as a potential interest of a selected segment of helping professions
VOLÁROVÁ, Andrea
The bachelor's thesis deals with the topic of assistance to victims of crime as a potential interest of a selected segment of helping professions. The main objective of the bachelor's thesis was to find out how society provides assistance to minor victims and if assistance provided meets the needs of the minors who have been victims of a crime. The bachelor's thesis is divided into two parts; a theoretical part and a research. The theoretical part focuses on defining the rights of minor victims in the Czech Republic; then it describes crimes committed against minors. Great emphasis is put on the issues of relatively frequent CAN syndrome; and the final section provides a list of helping organisations that deal with the issues of minor victims of crime. The research part is based on a qualitative research strategy. Monographic method and content analysis were employed to obtain data. Then there was employed structured interview technique that used a set of 11 open questions. The results of the qualitative research showed that respondents from the helping organisations tend to agree with the statement that the assistance provided to minor victims of a crime is sufficient to their needs. The needs of minor victims were identified by the respondents following their experience gained through work with minor victims. The thesis mentions respondents that would improve assistance provided to the victims and also respondents that do not agree with the statement; such respondents believe that the needs of victims are not met at all. The research results will serve as an information source for professionals in organisations providing assistance to minor victims of crime.
