If someone is starving, need they feel that it's right to take the lesser of two evils and steal food? Sure, criminals have made a choice to commit their crime (almost always), but they need not feel that it is "right" in any moral sense. Some crimes don't have a moral dimension from the criminal's point of view at all, others are intentional wrong-doing. Still others are not thought about until afterwards - that's why the law distinguishes between some pre-meditated acts and those in the heat of the moment.
