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....

Educational Measures in Practice
HRÁDKOVÁ, Barbora
The bachelor thesis is focused on educational measures that are imposed to juvenile offenders for their offenses according to the Law on Juvenile Justice. First, I want to characterize this law and development of this branch. Further description is focused on the principle of restorative justice and individual educational measures which are imposed to adolescents and children under 15 years old. The conclusion of the theoretical part is devoted to the role of the Probation and Mediation Service and of the social-legal protection of children and to brief comparison with measures that are imposed to juvenile in Slovakia. The practical part is realized by using qualitative research and technique structured interviews. The research was conducted with nine respondents which were employees of the Probation and Mediation Service and curators for children and youth. They answered on thirteen questions. I want to find out which education measures in practice are actually imposed which are imposed the most frequently and for what offenses. The next question I want to resolved were information about performance and control of the education measures. I also wanted to know how respondents assess the effectiveness of these measures and how the adolescents and their parents cooperate with them. The aim of the bachelor thesis is to show the problems associated with special educational measures that are imposed to delinquent juveniles and find out which of these educational measures are used in practice and how its performance looks like. In conclusion, based on the investigation I found out that the most imposed educational measure is supervision of a probation officer. I also figure out that common offense which is committed by juveniles is theft. Respondents evaluate the effectiveness of educational measures positively as well as cooperation with minors.

Processing Differencies in Matters of Juvenile Perpetrators
KALIVODOVÁ, Martina
My bachelor thesis will concern criminal procedural law of juvenile offenders, focusing on the specifics of proceedings with juvenile offenders, which I shall compare to proceedings with adult offenders. In the introduction I will mention the history of criminal law with juvenile offenders, which has undergone significant changes. At first criminal law was only regulated by the penal code and by the criminal procedure, which only included provisions concerning juvenile offenders. This regulation was insufficient as it did not allow to reflect juvenile criminality. There were tries to enforce a new code of law, which would contain only juvenile justice. Quite recently, in the year 2004, because of growing juvenile criminality and the need to solve juvenile criminal cases differently, a new independent law n. 218/2003 Sb. on juvenile justice was created, with the full name of law n. 218/2003 on the liability of youth for unlawful acts and on juvenile justice and on change of some laws. This law brought many changes and represents a positive contribution in juvenile justice. In my work I will introduce the juvenile justice law and I will point out the facts resulting from it. At the beginning of my thesis I will shortly define the basic concepts dealing with substantive criminal law of juvenile offenders, which are distinct from the criminal law of adults, and the knowledge of which I consider necessary for full understanding of my work. The aim of my work is to highlight the differences in procedural criminal law, in criminal proceedings with juveniles. I will compare criminal proceedings with juveniles to those with adults, which differ in significant terms. I will focus on certain specifics, which I will describe, compare to general regulations and evaluate. To conclude, I will evaluate the current state of juvenile justice and provide my own opinion on this topic. I will describe certain drawbacks in the law and suggest their change. I will describe my own ideas about juvenile law.

Criminal activity of the juvenile offenders
ZBORNÍKOVÁ, Kateřina
The theoretical part of my thesis focuses on explaining the concepts, including definition of responsibilities, and on development of work with offenders from retributive to restorative justice. It deals with the characteristics of youth crime, in particular by biological factors, age, gender, family and education. The practical part of my thesis utilises the methods of quantitative and qualitative combined research. The techniques included semi-standardised interviews completed with a non-aligned observation and secondary and content analysis of data from the files. The research sample consisted of clients of the Probation and Mediation Service in České Budějovice, who committed a criminal act in teen age. The research mostly focused on theft, quiet, whole and functional family background and students of the Secondary Technology and Automobile School in České Budějovice. The research has shown that young offenders are happy not to be in prison, and that they do not have sufficient legal awareness. All the set objectives have been achieved. Two of initial three hypotheses were confirmed, one was not. Hypotheses specified on the basis of research are: 1.) the most frequent motive of juvenile offenders to commit a criminal act is a sudden ?straying?, 2.) students of the Secondary Technology and Automobile School in České Budějovice, Skuherského Street 3, are the most common perpetrators of criminal acts in the district of České Budějovice, 3.) actively cooperating clients of the Probation and Mediation Service in České Budějovice are the most likely that the court would conditionally stop their prosecutions, and 4.) adolescents have low legal awareness. The thesis can be utilised for processing in professional magazines and publications or for the needs of further research, bachelor, diploma and other scientific works. Another possible use I see for the needs of practical application within the prevention of crime and for teaching purposes.
