| Popis | Like other countries around the world, the Czech Republic is trying to adapt its legislation to protect victims of crime to the maximum level possible, to provide them with the necessary rights and to prevent their secondary victimization. First of all, it should be noted that Czech criminal law distinguishes two terms – one is the victim of a crime, the other is the aggrieved party. Each of them has a slightly different status and rights. Within the concept of "victim of a crime", Czech criminal law also defines the term "particularly vulnerable victim", which includes certain specific groups of victims (e.g. children). A significant part of the research work will therefore be devoted to the difference between the victim and the aggrieved party, and the consequences of this difference. The reason for this is that without knowledge of the abovementioned it is impossible to adequately understand the system of protection of victims of crime in the Czech Republic. In the Czech legal system there are, of course, provisions to protect victims from secondary victimization. These aspects will also be discussed in this thesis. Since the Czech Republic is a member of the European Union and therefore its national law is affected by EU law, the research work will also focus on some aspects of this influence. In particular influence of proposal for a directive of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Directive 2012/29/EU establishing minimum standards on the rights, support and protection of victims of crime, and replacing Council Framework Decision 2001/220/JHA. |
