Look at the laws.
You see something wrong and illegal happening.
A violent situation, or a situation that may require the use of violence in order to solve it.
You reckon you have a chance, you are capable, you have the training.
Or you don't, but you think it's the right thing to do.
You get involved, you intervene, you help other people, guess what, odds are it's you going to jail.
It's you having to pay a fine or compensation.
It's you having to spend money on a lawyer to defend yourself.
That's the system most people in the West live in and grew up with.
Is it any wonder that they are less than keen on getting involved?
The fact that people live in massive urban agglomerations doesn't help either.
It's a multi-ethnic, multi-religious, fractured society, where nobody even knows their neighbors.
Total anonymity.
No cohesion, no community.
If you know the person getting attacked by a stranger, if there's a personal relation, if it's someone from your community or social network, someone from your "tribe", if in your mind their face is connected with a name and a story, you'll always intervene, no questions asked. There's also social pressure, if you don't help, word will get around in your community.
But two complete strangers you have nothing in common with?
That's a different story.
Much easier to just walk away.
