Institute of Pre-trial Detention in Criminal Proceedings

This bachelor thesis deals with the restriction of personal liberty of an accused person during the prosecution through the custody institute in the context of fundamental human rights and freedoms guaranteed by the rule of law including the international treaties to which the Czech Republic is bound. The thesis is divided into four chapters. The legal analysis of restriction of personal liberty through restraint or arrest that precedes the custody is followed by so-called material custodial law, specifically the custody institute focusing on the grounds for detention. The next chapter covers formal custodial law dealing with procedural aspects of the detention of an individual within the detention session, the detention order and the limits for accepting legal compensations for the detention by other measures. The last chapter deals with the detention in terms of rights and duties of an accused person in a detention including possible social-psychological aspects
