Marian Buhociu is a lecturer in Criminology and Criminal Justice at the Centre for Criminology. He is a former senior Romanian drugs investigator (between 2005-2010) and completed his PhD in the misuse of new psychoactive substances among problematic drug users in South Wales, which involved extensive engagement with service users and treatment agencies.
Over the last 13 years he has developed expertise in substance misuse among heavy-end drug users and students, and the policing of drug trafficking in Europe.
Marian’s research interests fall mainly within the field of alcohol and drug misuse among vulnerable populations. Since 2016, he has been working on a longitudinal study on drugs and alcohol misuse and associated harms among university students from South Wales.
Other recent projects focused on: the impact of the Minimum Pricing for Alcohol among harmful and hazardous drinkers in Wales, night-time economy related crimes among young adults in towns in the Welsh Valleys, and the use of Prescription-only Medicines and Opiate Substitution Treatment among Welsh problematic drug users.
