CRIMINALITY OF FOREIGNERS IN THE CONTEXT OF GLOBALIZATION AND INTEGRATION

Abstract

As a result of globalization and integration, travel and resettlement has become more accessible. The process of international migration is undoubtedly associated with positive aspects, but the society is also beginning to perceive the negative aspects of this phenomenon. The possible threats that accompany the migratory process are at the forefront, especially the threat to society's security requirements and the increase in foreigners' crime. For the development of the migration policy of the Czech Republic in modern history, two milestones were crucial. The first was the transformation process of economy, and the second milestone was the entry of the country into the European Union. The increase in the number of foreigners in the country also affected the process of globalization and technical progress, which made the technical and economic barriers to migration diminishing. Today, migratory policy and the shape of international migration in Europe are undergoing changes in the migration crisis. It is related to the global situation in the world. Although the Czech Republic is not one of the countries that would be hit hard by the migration crisis, worries about lower security arise here. The aim of the article is to analyse the criminal behaviour of foreigners in the Czech Republic since joining the European Union, and especially after the outbreak of the crisis. The subject will mainly analyse the criminal behaviour of foreigners and compare the criminality of foreigners with criminality of Czech citizens.
