Best Answer

Not reporting a crime could be a form of an omission (which is a failure to act)

It depends on the crime itself, and if there are any laws requiring someone to report a crime.


For example (in english law), the road traffic act 1988 requires a person to report a road accident, and failure to do so would be an omission and therefore a crime.


Unfortunately I cannot be specific to this question, as the crime exactly has not been defined. But yes, criminal liability is possible when failing to report a crime.
