The numbers of folks doing these things, compared with the size of the general population, is relatively small, and the effects can be "absorbed" on that scale (though on the personal scale it still leads to lack of trust and ostracization from the social group). No society would survive if such were taking place on a large scale, which is why societies have codes (most not Divinely inspired) to discourage such actions.

Research show it varying between 30 and 70 percent of the population just in the area of infidelity.

I wouldn't call either of those small.

I'm guessing that in a lifetime hardly anyone can say they haven't stolen something at one time or another.

So, I'd say that the numbers of the population doing these things are near total.
