Indirect perpetration Abstract This thesis deals with the institute of indirect perpetration, mainly focusing on the Czech substantive regulation of this institute of criminal law. The aim of this thesis is to provide a detailed interpretation of the concept of indirect perpetration not only in the context of the current legislation, but also in the historical context. Emphasis is also placed on the analysis of problematic aspects of indirect perpetration, as well as comparison with other important institutes of criminal law. The thesis is divided into four chapters. The first chapter deals with a historical perspective on indirect perpetration, and for this purpose the chapter is divided according to the effectiveness of past criminal codes. Within this chapter, the views and perspectives of the criminal law theorists of the time on the institute of indirect perpetration are thoroughly described and then compared, as these views often differed in many aspects. Attention is also paid to the background of the adoption of the new Criminal Code, and the related issue of incorporating the examined institute of indirect perpetration directly into the text of the law. The second chapter is devoted to the perpetrator of the offence and to the conditions of his criminal liability. This part of the thesis is also...

1 The crime of money laundering Abstract This Master's thesis on the topic of legalisation of proceeds of crime aims to offer a complex analysis of the problematic aspects of this crime in its narrower sense, under the provisions of section 216 (2) and its negligence form in Section 217 (1) of the Criminal Code. The thesis in its opening part focuses on the terminology used in Czech law and the differences between the terms "legalisation of proceeds of crime" and "money laundering" and explains why it tends to use the latter term. The second part of the thesis is focused on the historical evolution of this crime in Czech criminal law and explains reasons for its incorporation in the old Criminal Code, and all the changes this crime has gone through, during the time in which the old Criminal Code was effective. The following part of the thesis focuses on the evolution of the crime of money laundering in the currently effective Czech Criminal Code with a special focus on the most recent amendment, which resulted in the merger of crimes of money laundering and crime of participation on the proceeds of crime in the Section 216 of the Criminal code. The third chapter of the thesis is focused on the most important international organisations and international documents which have built the foundations of...

Imposing Punishments in Czech and Polish Legislations Abstract The comparison of the legal systems of individual states is an important source of inspiration for the further development of legislation. In my work I compare the legal regulation of punishments in the Czech Republic and in Poland, namely those of them which both Czech and Polish legal systems refer to as punishments. These are Czech fines, community service, imprisonment, and an exceptional sentence together with their Polish equivalents. The aim of the thesis is to find inspiration and stimuli for de lege ferenda considerations for further development of Czech criminal law by comparing Czech and Polish regulation of punishments, as well as the types of punishments most often imposed by courts in both countries. In the first part of the work I deal with the systems of criminal sanctions in both states in order to introduce the context for the subsequently analysed punishments. Furthermore, each part is devoted to one type of punishment and a comparison of its regulation in the Czech Republic and Poland. The second part is devoted to the Czech fine and the Polish sentence of grzywna, the third part to the Czech community service and the Polish sentence of imprisonment, the fourth part is related to the regulation of imprisonment, and the fifth...

The submitted master thesis deals with the issue of regulation of participation in a criminal offence, i.e. criminal liability of persons who participated in a criminal offence, as a wide range of perspectives on the question of how to build a system of criminal liability of persons participating in a criminal offence can be observed across legal systems. Thus, the primary aim of this thesis was to analyse the current legal regulation of participation in the Czech Republic, which allowed to identify the strengths as well as the problematic points of the Czech regulation. Since an integral part of the analysis is a de lege ferenda perspective, the logical outcome is to compare the results of the analysis with the regulation of participation in France and to look for intersections and differences between the two regulations. The thesis is internally divided into 4 chapters. The first chapter provides a general introduction to the issue of criminal complicity, i.e. it includes the definition and differentiation of participation and other forms of criminal complicity, which has led to the creation of a working framework within which the issues of the following chapters will be analysed. The second chapter is devoted to two theoretical approaches to the regulation of participation, namely monistic and...

The issue of the crime victim in criminology Abstract This thesis deals with the issue of the crime victim in criminology. It aims to introduce the reader to this issue not only through describing the development of the view of the victim throughout history, but also by taking the reader through the process of victimization and introducing them to, among other things, the role that the victim's behaviour or the relationship between victim and offender may play in this process. I also outline what factors can influence anyone to become a victim and the impact a crime can have on a victim. Finally, I describe the current state of victim protection in selected legislation and the types of assistance provided to victims. I also pay attention to victimological prevention, its types and forms. In the text of the thesis, I also mention several de lege ferenda proposals. The method I have used in my thesis is mainly descriptive and analytical. This thesis is divided into an introduction, five additional parts, which are then divided into chapters and some into sections, and a conclusion. The first part is devoted to the definition of criminology and then victimology, its subject, a brief history of its development and the changing view of the victim. It also looks at the concept of the victim in criminology and the...

Criminological Aspects of Organised Crime Abstract The aim of this thesis is to comprehend the topic of organised crime in its entirety and to create an overview that will help to understand this phenomenon in the context of the contemporary world. The thesis analyses the phenomenon primarily from the criminological point of view but also from the criminal law point of view. The thesis is divided into two parts. The first part is a general treatise on organised crime. The second part pursues organised crime in the Czech Republic. The first chapter deals with the concept of organised crime from several perspectives. In addition to the legal and criminological definition, it also explores how this concept is defined in foreign literature. Furthermore, this chapter introduces the concept of transnational organised crime, the understanding of which is crucial for current criminology. At the end of the chapter, the differences between certain types of group criminal activities are explained. The author would like to highlight significance of the second chapter, which examines the subjects of organised crime, because chapters focused on victims and perpetrators are rather sporadic in the literature on organised crime. One of the subchapters is dedicated to the criminal organisation itself - it states what types...
