Criminal law lessons take you through the core concepts used to identify, charge, and try criminal offences.

• Actus reus and mens rea: Understanding actus reus and mens rea helps you analyse whether an offence has truly been committed.
• Types of offences: Lessons cover serious offences such as murder and manslaughter alongside lesser-known statutory crimes.
• Defences: Criminal law teaches you how defendants can challenge charges using defences like self-defence, duress, or insanity.
• Penalties and outcomes: The subject also covers how courts decide on appropriate sentences and what factors influence the outcome.

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

The basics of criminal law give you the framework to analyse any criminal scenario with clarity and confidence.

• The burden and standard of proof: Understanding the burden of proof is essential before you can analyse any criminal case effectively.
• The elements of an offence: Some strict liability offences are an exception — these require no proof of mental intent at all.
• The distinction between criminal and civil law: Criminal law is a matter of public law — the state prosecutes offenders on behalf of society, not on behalf of individuals.
• When the law excuses liability: Defences such as self-defence, consent, duress, and automatism can reduce or remove criminal liability entirely.

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