Sleeping in a Stolen Car Outside the Police Station: What Does the Playa de Palma Case Say About Prevention?

Answer

How can Mallorca prevent young people from getting involved in car theft?

Prevention usually starts long before a crime takes place, especially through schools, youth centres and local support services. Practical information about the risks and consequences of using someone else’s car can help, as can better options for young people who are spending time out late at night. Prevention works best when families, schools, police and neighbourhood networks all play a part.
