Answer

Why does poor street lighting matter for crime prevention in Mallorca?

Good lighting makes people and activity easier to see, which raises the chance that suspicious behaviour is noticed quickly. In darker streets, someone can act with less risk of being seen by residents, workers or passers-by. Better lighting is one of the simplest ways to make an area feel more watched and less vulnerable.
