Assault at Palma Station: Why Visibility Alone Doesn't Protect

Street lighting can improve visibility in Palma, but safety also depends on patrols, reporting and prevention.

Answer
Does street lighting make Palma safer at night?
Good lighting helps in Palma because it makes streets, entrances and squares easier to see and can deter opportunistic behaviour. But lighting alone is not enough if some areas still have shadows, hidden corners or poor access routes. Safety also depends on police presence, clear reporting options and people stepping in when something is wrong.
