abstract: Juror impartiality is necessary for a fair and just legal system, but is true juror impartiality realistic? The current study investigated the role of implicit and explicit social-cognitive biases in jurors’ conceptualizations of insanity, and the influence of those biases in juror verdict decisions. It was hypothesized that by analyzing the role of implicit and explicit biases in insanity defense cases, jurors’ attitudes towards those with mental illnesses and attitudes towards the insanity defense would influence jurors’ final verdict decisions. Two hundred and two participants completed an online survey which included a trial vignette incorporating an insanity defense (adapted from Maeder et al., 2016), the Insanity Defense Attitude Scale (Skeem, Louden, & Evans, 2004), Community Attitudes Towards the Mentally Ill Scale (Taylor & Dear, 1981), and an Implicit Association Test (Greenwald et al., 1998). While implicit associations concerning mental illness and dangerousness were significantly related to mock jurors’ verdicts, they no longer were when explicit insanity defense attitudes were added to a more complex model including all measured attitudes and biases. Insanity defense attitudes were significantly related to jurors’ verdicts over and above attitudes about the mentally ill and implicit biases concerning the mentally ill. The potentially biasing impact of jurors’ insanity defense attitudes and the impact of implicit associations about the mentally ill in legal judgments are discussed. / Dissertation/Thesis / Masters Thesis Psychology 2018

The crime of habitual drunkenness under s. 360 of the Criminal Code The subject of my thesis concerns the crime of habitual drunkenness under s. 360 of Act. No. 40/2009 Coll., Criminal Code, as amended. In this thesis I describe not only its political theory but also its historical background and evolution in the Czech Republic. The crime of habitual drunkenness was and still is considered to be an atypical crime with very unusual analogy in respect of the Criminal Code. However, this crime is somewhat a break through in the fundamental principle of criminal law, the principle of liability for fault (nullum crimen sine culpa). This crime is considered unusual because of its specific legislative and legal construction as well as its extraordinary implications in terms of theoretical principles and requirements which are the basis of criminal law. All of the above mentioned attributes, historical and current concepts and proposals de lege ferenda can be found in this thesis. This thesis is divided into ten chapters. For clarity, these chapters are divided into multiple sub-sections. First chapter deals with the notion of insanity which, by no means, goes hand in hand with the crime of habitual drunkenness. Second chapter is a complex summary of the historical evolution from Maria Theresa codes until...

The subject of this thesis presents the problematics of criminal conduct in the state of intoxication with the main focus on habitual drunkenness under s. 360 of Act. No. 40/2009 Coll., Criminal Code. Subject of the thesis contains multiple theoretic views, historical evolution in the formal Czech lands, Czechoslovakia and Czech Republic. The crime of habitual drunkenness is considered to be an extraordinary crime due to its character and legal construction. This crime does not have an analogy in the respect of a criminal code and in a certain view breaks through the fundamental principle of modern criminal law nullum crimen sine culpa, which is the liability for fault. The atypical nature of this crime is represented by its specific legal construction, the requirements of the theoretical principles and demands in which lies the criminal law in modern state of law and last but not least the problem of escalating consumption of addictive substances. All of these attributes are the subject of this thesis. The thesis is divided into nine chapters. For easier orientation in the text, chapters are divided into multiple sub-sections. First chapter includes the basic terms such as insanity and mental illness, which are crucial to the crime of habitual drunkenness. Second chapter views historical evolution...
