Find Civil Law tutoring in Bath

Criminal law covers the rules and principles that govern how offences are defined, prosecuted, and punished.

• Conduct and mental intent: Every criminal charge hinges on proving both a wrongful act and an intention to commit it.
• Types of offences: Criminal law spans a wide range — from assault and theft to more complex crimes like conspiracy and cybercrime.
• Legal defences and justifications: Criminal law teaches you how defendants can challenge charges using defences like self-defence, duress, or insanity.
• Sentencing and punishment: You explore the principles behind punishment — deterrence, rehabilitation, retribution, and public protection.

A private tutor can help you work through case law, essay technique, and exam strategy so you master each area with confidence.

Criminal law tutors in Bath typically charge £14/h per hour.

Pricing can vary based on:

• The stage of study (secondary school, undergraduate, postgraduate, or bar prep)
• The instructor's credentials and track record
• The package you choose (one-off session or regular lessons)
• The teaching mode (in-person or video call)

Many tutors offer package discounts for booking multiple lessons in advance.

Criminal law rests on a set of foundational principles that shape every offence, defence, and court procedure.

• Proving guilt beyond reasonable doubt: The defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty, and this principle runs through every stage of a criminal trial.
• The elements of an offence: Identifying the elements of an offence is the starting point for any criminal law analysis or problem question.
• Public versus private law: Criminal law is a matter of public law — the state prosecutes offenders on behalf of society, not on behalf of individuals.
• Key legal defences: Knowing which defences apply in a given scenario is a critical skill tested in criminal law exams and mooting.

Once these basics are secure, you can confidently tackle more advanced topics like homicide, fraud, and inchoate offences.
