What is the public security situation in Spain?

With the improvement of people's living standards, more and more people plan to immigrate to Spain. What about the public security situation in Spain? Let's look at Spain. Welcome to reading.

I. Background

In recent years, the social security situation in Spain has deteriorated day by day, especially in Madrid, the capital, and Barcelona, the second largest city, where the crime rate remains high and robbery and theft cases occur frequently. In June 2003, a Greek tourist was stabbed to death in Madrid for resisting. Asian tourists and businessmen, including China citizens, are most likely to be the targets of thieves. From June 5 to September 2003, more than 50 citizens applied for new travel documents because they were robbed by the consular section of our embassy in the West.

Criminals are mostly immigrants from North Africa and Latin America, with dark skin color, mainly gangs, and most of them commit crimes in tourist attractions, railway stations and airports, underground passages in the city center and at the entrance of hotels; There are several ways to commit crimes: dressing up as a tourist and asking for directions with a map in his hand; ; Dressed as a plainclothes policeman to search for bags; Tell you that your clothes are dirty and kindly help; After deliberately puncturing the tire, he took the opportunity to steal luggage while assisting in replacement; Put your arms around your neck from your backpack, or put people in a coma with a handkerchief stained with chemicals; Dress up as a gypsy and sell you flowers and other small things.

Second, the safety advice

(1) It is best to go out together and pay attention to whether there are suspicious people before and after;

(2) If it is not necessary, don't take your passport and air ticket with you when you go out; It is best to copy passports, airline tickets, etc. And store them separately from the original for reissue;

(3) Don't carry a lot of cash when you go out. If you need to carry cash, you should carry it scattered to avoid all cash being taken away at one time;

(4) Try not to carry purses, backpacks or purses. You can use ordinary plastic bags or shopping bags to carry necessary items, tea and drinks, which is less likely to cause gangsters to covet;

(5) If you are traveling alone, please remember your own safety when traveling by boat, and don't accept food or drinks from strangers. If you are in a sleeping car, lock the car at night and hang a door chain on it. Bags should be tied under your head, and valuables should be separated in clothes bags, not in the same leather bag or pocket.

(six) in case of armed robbers, generally do not resist, so as not to endanger life safety;

(7) Early in the morning, late at night or at lunch time (around 2 pm to 4 pm), because the police force is relatively weak, it is a favorable opportunity for criminals to commit crimes, so special attention should be paid to prevention.
