The interviewer wants to put a bit of extra emphasis on the fine line of being a good person, and not being caught. This answer should be kept very simple, and 100% honest.
If you have never committed a crime: "I have never committed a crime. I was raised to always be an honest person and to respect other people, their property, and myself."
If you have committed a crime: "I was a trouble maker in my teen years and was pressured into shoplifting at a gas station when I was 15. I was never caught for it but always felt terrible. When I was older, I actually went back to that gas station and paid them back."

I've never committed a crime. I was raised in a strict household where I was taught to respect myself, respect others, and what's done in the dark comes to light. When I was younger my family disowned a close relative because of his lifestyle. That was enough to convince me not to make any mistakes.
Rachelle's Feedback
That's a memorable motto - What's done in the dark comes to light. It seems you were very obedient and disciplined growing up.
