Further information: List of countries by intentional homicide rate

Corruption

Main article: Corruption in the Czech Republic

Political corruption (especially bribery) and theft are some of the most severe issues in the Czech Republic.[2][3][4][5][6] Group of States Against Corruption mainly criticises the lack of pro-active monitoring of the financing and states that an effective supervisory mechanism is missing.[4]

A survey of Transparency International in 2009 showed that fewer than 1 in 10 respondents find the anti-corruption efforts of their government effective.[7] In 2010, 44% of people answered that the corruption increased.[7][8]

Terror attacks

In January 2019 a 71-year-old Czech pensioner, Jaromir Balda, was jailed for four years for terrorism after he had cut down trees to block railway lines in order to pretend Islamists were responsible. He had left messages at the scene saying "Allahu Akbar" ("God is great" in Arabic).[9]

Youth crime

This section is an excerpt from Youth in the Czech Republic § Crime.[edit]

At the age of 15, youths are considered to have diminished criminal responsibility and reach the age of full criminal responsibility at 18. In the 10 years prior to and including 2006, there were 4,000 projects, the majority aimed at juvenile crime, introduced to increase cooperation between citizens, municipal bodies, and the Czech police. The goal of these programs is to increase education, training, and crime prevention within the communities by providing youth with several leisure and sports activities.[10]

Boys are the victims of robbery four times that of girls but for both boys and girls, the risk of victimization of robbery decreases with grade level.[11]
