Possibilities of Using Criminal Statistics by the Criminal Justice Authorities
JUDr. Václav Kučera, Police Academy of the Czech Republic, PhD student
The paper deals with the possibilities of using statistics not in the usual usage in crime prevention or in the evaluation of criminal policy, but in criminal proceedings. The author presents foreign approaches to the issue, including the results of scientific work. The contributor sees the benefits of statistics for criminal proceedings in the operational and investigational use and as means for efficient allocation of resources. The author concludes that usage of statistics in criminal proceedings in Czechia is a scientifically not fully explored area with great potential for fulfilling the purposes of criminal proceedings in Czechia.
