Eng. Violent crime a it's prevention Violence, violent crime and it's prevention are the main focus points of my thesis. Violence is as old as humanity itself, it made and destroyed some of the most famous people of our history and history of the whole world. Violence played and still plays a very important part in building and undoing nations. Even though it's often regarded as the last measure, violence is still present in our everyday lives. That's why it's still importat to study this subject. The main goal of my thesis is to elaborate the basics of violent crime and it's prevention as a whole and in the Czech Republic. Is the prevention system and it's goals set right to prevent violent crime and crime altogether? Is consumation of alcohol and other substances linked to the violent crime? Those are just few questions that I try to answer in this thesis. My thesis is split into seven parts. In parts one to seven I covered main focus of my thesis. In part one I cover the basics that are important for my work as a whole. Terms like criminality, criminology and violence. In the second part I write about offenders, their categories and differences between them based on their chracteristics. I also split them into categories based on their relationship with the educational system. In part three I...

Den föreliggande studien syftade till att undersöka hur förövares- samt brottsoffers könstillhörighet samvarierar med strafflängd för individer dömda för grov misshandel.  Granskning av domar efter lagändringen den första juli 2017 där grov misshandel var det primära brottet genomfördes för att samla in data för jämförelse mellan män och kvinnor som förövare samt brottsoffer. Totalt användes 100 domar till analyserna med 61 manliga och 39 kvinnliga förövare. Det översiktliga resultatet indikerade att strafflängd inte samvarierade med vare sig förövarens eller brottsoffrets könstillhörighet när dessa undersöktes separat. Det återfanns däremot en signifikant samvariation för sammansättningarna av förövarens och offrets könstillhörighet och strafflängd. Skillnad återfanns endast mellan gruppen med kvinnliga förövare och manliga offer och gruppen med kvinnliga förövare och kvinnliga offer. Vid stratifiering för om fler brott än grov misshandel har påverkat straffvärdet samt för om förövaren tidigare var dömd återstod däremot inte denna skillnad. Resultatet diskuterades utifrån tidigare forskning samt teorierna Focal concerns och Paternalism/Chivalry theory, med fokus på grov misshandel som ett könsnormativt brott samt de metodologiska begränsningarna med den föreliggande studien. / The present study aimed to examine how the gender of perpetrators and victims of aggravated assault relates to the length of prison sentences. Data was collected to compare male and female perpetrators and victims from sentences where aggravated assault was the primary offense, after the change in legislation the first of July 2017. A total of 100 cases were included in the analysis with 61 male and 39 female perpetrators. In summary the result indicated that the length of the prison sentence did not relate to the gender of perpetrators or victims when examined separately. However, a significant result was found between perpetrator and victim gender constitution and the length of sentences. The difference was only found between the group with female perpetrators and male victims and the group with female perpetrators and female victims. The effect did not remain when stratifications were made regarding additional crimes besides aggravated assault affecting sentencing length and for prior convictions. The results are discussed in view of prior research, Focal concerns and Chivalry/Paternalism theory, with focus on aggravated assault as a gender normative crime together with the methodological limitations of the current study.
