To Act or Not Act

Discuss inaction. Is one less guilty of a crime if they let it happen but did not take an active role in it? Compare inaction to action---Are there levels of guilt?

 I strongly believe if two people are involved in a crime, both people should feel the same guilt. I believe this because even though the other person might not have taken part in the action, they still were involved in the planning.  Knowing about a crime which they could have stopped  from happening, does make the other person guilty but the person who committed the crime has a higher level of guilt. For example, two people who talk about murdering somebody but only one person does the killing. The person who kills somebody should be punished for a higher level of guilt.
