It simple...
You feel guilty because you know inside you could've helped/stopped the crime, but you chose to ignore it.

It depends on the crime. Some people even feel guilty when not committing a crime!

You should feel guilty if you commit a crime. Crime is wrong. If you don't, then there is seriously something wrong with you for not feeling remorse.

Denial is a defense mechanism in which a person is faced with a fact that is too painful to accept and rejects it instead, insisting that it is not true despite what may be overwhelming evidence. The subject may deny the reality of the unpleasant fact altogether (simple denial), admit the fact but deny its seriousness (minimisation) or admit both the fact and seriousness but deny responsibility (transference).
The past happened as it happened, and there is nothing we can do about it. The Persian poet Omar Khayyam had it right when he said, "The moving finger writes; and, having writ, moves on: nor all your piety nor wit shall lure it back to cancel half a line, nor all your tears wash out a word of it."
We can learn from the past, but that's it. We can't change it. We can't reproduce it. Nor are we responsible for it or for anything that was done or not done in the past. We can read stories about it and look at relics that have survived, but the past and all the people who inhabited it are gone forever.

If you had no conscience it's not. You could try and convince yourself that it was totally justifiable or morally right, but how would a jury of your 12 peers deem you? And could you live with such guilt or would it eat you alive?

yes if you did it how could you not feel guilty. Unless you don't have a conscience

~Depends on the crime? If I were you, I would think about finding a therapist. No offense.
Good luck.~

You must feel some guilt if you are asking this question.
