New data shows more than half of all violent crimes are committed by a very small numbers of offenders. Lawmakers are now working to target that tiny group.

Ohio is changing the drug it will use in future executions. The company that makes the drug now being used will stop manufacturing it. In an interview wtih Ohio Public Radio's Jo Ingles, Carlo LoParo of the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections explains how the state will proceed with executions from this point forward.
The state has been using the current drug, sodium thiopental, for more than a year. Before that, Ohio used a three drug cocktail but abandoned that practice after a court fight over whether it constituted cruel and unusual punishment. |
