Dr Claudia Stoicescu is a Research Associate at Oxford University's Centre for Criminology, and an Associate Professor in Public Health at Monash University, Indonesia. She joined the Centre for Criminology in December 2019 as a researcher on the project Elites’ opinions on the death penalty in Indonesia. This research, led by Professor Carolyn Hoyle, in association with the Death Penalty Project, London and the Community Legal Aid Institute, Jakarta, aimed to better understand the attitudes of political, academic and criminal justice elites on the death penalty and explore how these shape policy and practice. 

Dr Claudia Stoicescu is a social epidemiologist and policy analyst with expertise in HIV, gender-based violence, drug use and drug policy. She received her D.Phil in Social Intervention (2018) from the University of Oxford’s Department of Social Policy and Intervention, where she remains an Associate Member. Her doctoral research, funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research and the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation, used community-based participatory approaches to explore the intersections between substance use, HIV and gender-based violence in the first large-scale representative study of women who inject drugs in Indonesia. Her current projects examine the impact of policing practices on health outcomes and access to health care among people who drugs, and seek to  improve access to justice among transgender women experiencing gender-based violence.
