Sometimes people are more comfortable with a stereotype than than the
truth.
This book proved this. Everyone thought that Boo was a criminal, and unsafe. Mothers were scared for children to be even close to his house. Isn't it Ironic that such a "criminal" saved two kids lives? Hm? Then, Mr. Tate, didn't want to tell the town what actually happened cause he didn't want people going around bringing him "angle food cakes" to his door. "It would be a sin." Mr. Tate was not wanting Boo's stereotype to change.
However, I think at some point or another it would come out because of how little the town was. Also, I think Scout will be the first to tell everyone about it. I think that eventually Boo wouldn't be known as the "criminal," but as a town hero!
