Summary of The Badge: True and Terrifying Crime Stories That Could Not Be Presented on TV, from the Creator and Star of Dragnet

But 1950s television censors deemed many of the stories in the LAPD?s files too violent or sensational for the airwaves. The Badge is Webb?s collection of stories that could not be presented on TV: untold, behind-the-scenes accounts of the Black Dahlia murder, the Brenda Allen confessions, Stephen Nash?s "thrill murders," and Donald Bashor?s "sleeping lady murders," to name just a few.

Case by case, The Badge takes readers on a spine chilling police tour through the dark, shadowy world of Los Angeles crime. It is a journey that, even four decades after it originally appeared in print, no reader is likely to forget.
