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

Answer

Why are doorway assaults in Palma harder to prevent than attacks in public places?

Doorways sit between public and private space, so they are harder to monitor than a busy street or square. People are often focused on getting keys out, opening the door or carrying bags, which creates a moment of vulnerability. In Palma, that makes building entrances an important but often overlooked safety concern.
