Answer

What is a court-ordered protection and restraining ban, and does it help keep people safe in Mallorca?

A protection order restricts contact and sets boundaries around a person. It is a formal legal measure, but its real-world safety depends on how it is enforced by police and supported by social services. Without timely responses to breaches, it may not fully protect those at risk.
