Answer

Why do some Mallorca neighborhoods create more problems for taxis than others?

Some areas attract more risk because of poverty, drug activity, social exclusion or a lack of support services. That does not mean every person or every street is dangerous, but it can make taxi work harder in certain parts of Mallorca. Longer-term prevention usually depends on both policing and social support, not only on arrests after incidents.
