Why no one actually understands who needs to give way at a roundabout?

This happens a lot when I slow down and enter a roundabout first, and then there comes a fwit out of nowhere flying into it and beeping at me because he doesn’t slow down, only checks his right, and thinks the road is clear and I, who already entered the roundabout before him, have to give way to him because he approached from my right side!

Because I entered the roundabout at a slow speed, and they were going full 60, to them it seems like I cut them off, but it’s not true. I check both sides before entering a roundabout.

Why no one slows down approaching a roundabout and thinks they only need to check their right side?

Why the police don't care about small crimes in Australia and the western world in general? I come from a Central Asian country, and even though we are not a rich country, the things like break-ins, car theft, robberies, crackheads, homeless people are almost unheard of in our daily life. The police will catch anyone who steals and jail them pretty quickly.

But here in Australia, these things are seen as normal and everyone seems to have gotten used to seeing these things happen everyday. l've heard a lot of stories about people's bikes getting stolen, cars smashed overnight, etc and police don't do anything.

I myself have been in a hit and run situation and I got their rego on my dashcam and reported to the police, and it took them over 3 months to identify the driver. It wasn't even a stolen vehicle.

Every other day I read the news about how some repeat offender got granted another bail.

So why aren't western countries' laws not strict when it comes to these criminals? Is it because it's too costly to keep them in prison, or is it because someone, like insurance companies etc., is benefiting from having a certain level of crime in the society?
