Terrorism and Organized Crime: Two Challenges for Czech Criminal Law in the 21st Century : Charles University in Prague Faculty of Law Research Paper No. 2021/II/1
Abstract
This paper focuses on exploring the possibilities of criminal law in the fight against terrorism and organized crime. The growing terrorist threats and the growing sophistication of the organized crime are clear impulses for the creation of more effective legislation, in the form of tools designed to prevent, punish and detect both serious and the first forms of crime.
Research on criminal and criminal law instruments in an environment of democratic rule of law must be based on careful consideration of permissible interference with constitutional rights and free individuals. The authors identify five research areas of both forms o crime, which are phenomenological aspects of leading crime, regional bases of criminal liability, including, for example, structural facts, sanctions, problems of legality, legitimacy and proportionality of criminal institutes and issues of investigation tactics and methodology.
