| Popis | The paper deals with the issue of cultural expertise within the context of using expert witnesses in criminal investigations in the Czech Republic. The most critical challenge in this sense is the transfer of cultural knowledge into the materials used as evidence by police, public prosecutors, and courts. Specific attention is paid to subcultural expertise. The author analyses the general conditions and history of this use and demonstrates the existing problems with the help of several case studies. These case studies cover investigating racist right-wing extremist crimes in the skinhead subculture, Islamist crimes connected to foreign fighters in Syria, and pro-Russian foreign fighters in Donbas. The author concludes that expert witnesses are strongly interconnected with cultural expertise in various cases in the Czech Republic in countering extremism and terrorism. However, this artistic expertise has certain limits in the juridical sphere. |
