Assault on Calle General Riera: What is missing to make us feel safe at our front door?

Answer

Should residents in Palma report assaults even if they feel ashamed or unsure?

Yes. Reporting helps the police see patterns, identify problem areas and respond more effectively, even when victims feel hesitant. Shame and fear often keep incidents hidden, but without reports it is much harder to plan real prevention in Mallorca’s neighbourhoods. Support after the incident can also make reporting less difficult.
