When you have knowledge of the offense and fail to report it. If you have knowledge of it after it occurred it is known as being "An Accessory After The Fact." If you know about the crime before it is committed you COULD be charged as a "principal" (i.e.- you know that it is about to occur -maybe even helped plan it- but do nothing/did nothing to stop it or report it).
