If there was one thing Jake understood, it was the uncommunicativeness of the poor. Poor people minded their own business. They didn't want trouble. If they knew nothing, saw nothing, it was easier to stay out of trouble. Especially when it might have to do with the police.

Jake reflects on why the neighbors all claim to have seen nothing.
