The purpose of this treatise is to re-iterate the original theory of Bad Spirits first proposed in BAD SPIRTS (2008a/2016b) (Revised edition) An American Indian Explanation for Family Violence. Scholars', and later expanded in YAQUIx(2016) A Native American Indian Cultural View of Identity Power & Evil. This is a Native American Indian culturally-based theoretical perspective of crime causation and violence, phenomena which I will later refer to as evil and evilness. I also re-address the culture of crime and other related concepts presented in the earlier texts. I end this discussion with a predictive formula for determining where evil and evilness may next occur.
