  • Death of Punishment
    Death of Punishment: Searching for Justice among the Worst of the Worst (2013): Book reviewed by Attorney-at-Law Richard Barbuto The Death of Punishment: Searching for Justice among the Worst of the Worst Professor Robert Blecker (Author) Published by Palgrave Macmillan (2013) ISBN-13: 978-1137278562 (Hardcover) ISBN-10: 1137278560 (Kindle) Hardcover Price 16.35 pounds Kindle Price 15.53 pounds Book Review written by Richard Barbuto1 Crusader of the death penalty If you want to read a book about the pros and cons of the death penalty, this is not it. The Death of Punishment: Searching for Justice Among the Worst of the Worst appears to fail to do much more give is the pros and cons of the U.S. death penalty laws. Perhaps, though, it may have furthered Professor Robert Blecker's career as a crusader for the death penalty. For the sake of full disclosure, the reviewer is not a death penalty advocate, finding the imposition of the death penalty barbaric and believing that it should be abolished, an opposing moral stance to Robert Blecker's. However he does not claim that every murder requires the death penalty. Indeed, he proclaims that only 'the worst of the worst' should be executed and in support of his argument, Professor Blecker relies on conversations with death penalty prisoners over the past 10-plus years. Examples of the cases this author discusses include multiple murders of children; cases involving torture followed by death; rape-murder cases; and other heinous crimes. 1 Richard Barbuto is an attorney-at-law in the United States of America, practicing in criminal law.

  • Fiscal Year 2020 Annual Report
    Fiscal Year 2020 Annual Report A Note from Our Director The Arkansas State Board of Pharmacy has a rich and lengthy history in our endeavors to protect the public health and welfare by and through the effective regulation of the many aspects of the drug delivery system. Even when we may think we have seen everything; something will always surprise you. While everyone is aware of the large‐scale impact that COVID 19 has had in our nation and across the world, specific impacts in pharmacy have been a stressor we have not seen previously. In fact, our office has seen firsthand how our staff, board and permit holders were all able to handle this pandemic and respond rapidly to ensure our ability to continue serving the public in many new and innovative ways. Throughout our review this year you will see numerous examples of how the Arkansas State Board of Pharmacy responded to the rapidly evolving need to consider requests and deliver guidance on how pharmacies, pharmacists, support staff, drug distributors and other permit holders could both socially distance and continue to serve patients. In my 15+ years with the Board, let me just say that this year is different. If you look back over the past few years especially you will see a common focus for the Board of Pharmacy and that has been one of educational outreach and partnerships to help with the issues of prescription drug abuse, misuse, and addictive disease. Unfortunately, through this pandemic, we have seen statistics indicating a marked increase in drug overdoses and suicide attempts as well as increases in the utilization of naloxone as a life saving measure to reverse opioid induced overdoses.
