CONCLUSIONS..............................................................................................................................................61 TABLES AND DIAGRAMS 2 1. Introduction The Report on Public Order and Internal Security in the Czech Republic in 2006 (hereinafter referred to as the ‘Report’) was drawn up under the responsibility of the Ministry of the Interior (hereinafter referred to as the ‘MoI’) and was compiled from documents provided by the Ministry of Justice (the ‘MoJ’), the Ministry of Defence (the ‘MoD’), the Ministry of Finance (the ‘MoF’), the Ministry of Culture (the ‘MoC’), the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs (the ‘MLSA’), the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports (the ‘MEYS’), the Ministry of Industry and Trade (the ‘MIT’), the Ministry of Transport (the’MoT’) the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (the ‘MFA’), the Ministry of the Environment (the ‘ME’), the Security Intelligence Service (the ‘SIS’), the National Security Authority (the ‘NSA’), the Supreme State Prosecutor’s Office (the ‘SSPO’), the Industrial Property Office, and the Office for the Protection of Personal Data. The aim of the Report is, in particular, to: • provide an overview of trends in crime, the structures of criminal offences committed, and criminal offenders; • provide an overview of developments in internal order and security; • provide information on the activities of executive bodies within security policy1, on adopted and drafted strategies and legislative and non-legislative measures, and to enable the use of information gathered to combat crimes, in particular to prepare legislative decision making, strategic and organisational objectives; • provide an overview on crime prevention as a tool of offensive control on crime2; and • identify those areas to which central state administration authorities need to devote special attention. Thus the Report does not deal with a detailed evaluation of specific measures since these are evaluated in separate reports; rather it only summarises gathered findings. The Report contains basic information on government policy concerning public order and internal security. On the basis of the evaluated findings, the conclusions of the report include draft priorities for security policy for the next term relating to public order and internal security. Separate Annexes to the Report are: Information on the Security Situation in Central Europe, and Information on the Issue of Extremism in the Czech Republic in 2005. Also annexed to the Report are Tables and Diagrams which are referred to in the text of the Report. The presented Report deals with detected criminal offences. The scope of latency of a certain part of crime, which is ‘hidden’, can be guessed from sociological surveys carried out on an ongoing basis.3 The statistical data used in the Report is based on the Statistical Crime Recording System of the Czech Police (hereinafter referred to as the ‘SCRS’) which specifies individual kinds of crime through tactical and statistical classification. Criminal statistics are completed by statistics maintained by the Ministry of Justice containing statistics of state prosecutors and courts. Data provided for in the Report, unless stated otherwise, relates to the year 2006. Further information relating mainly to adopted measures is valid as of 31 January 2007. 1 The principles of internal security policy are defined in the Status Report on Security in the Czech Republic reflecting the security interests and needs of the Czech Republic in the context of the developing security environment. The Report was discussed by the Government and approved by Resolution No. 263 of 15 March 2006. It is a follow up to the Status Report on Security in the Czech Republic in the area of the Protection against Emergency Events which comprehensively deals with issues of protection of inhabitants, fire protection, the Integrated Rescue System, crisis management, and civil emergency planning. 2 As regards crime prevention the Report is followed up by the 2006 Report on Meeting Tasks Arising from the Strategy of Crime Prevention from 2004 to 2007, drawn up under the competence of the Ministry of the Interior. 3 For example: Citizens on Crime and Prevention; the Final Report describing the sociological survey - Prague, the Institute for Criminal Sciences and Social Prevention 2006. 3 2.
