A Personal Story of Drug Addiction

The bachelor's thesis "The Life Journey of a Convict: A Biographical Approach" deals with the story of a man who was not only an active drug user, but also repeatedly found guilty of criminal offences. In this thesis, I also deal with the issue of the convicted man and the possibilities of rehabilitation. The method of interview followed by analysis was used to find out this issue. At the end of the bachelor's thesis there is an actual evaluation of the problems of the topic from all the findings and the sources mentioned. The theoretical part is focused on defining the concepts that are important for this thesis and encompasses the basic relevant concepts with the issue. These are concepts such as social pe-education, socially pathological phenomena, punishment, crime, resocialization and recidivism. I have further enriched these topics with the issue of drugs and defining methamphetamine. The research part focuses on an interview with a man who tells about his life journey, which was accompanied not only by experimentation with drugs but also by a prison sentence. The qualitative methodology is in the form of biographical research, which aims to find out what impact a person's criminal past has on his life and how to ensure a successful return to social life without signs of recidivism. To investigate whether the respondent's different life stages may have affected his personality. Throughout, I am guided by the respondent's key events that have affected him the most in his life
