The correct answer is: people who are stigmatized are frequently labeled as deviant.

According to the sociologist Durkheim, stigma refers to the phenomenon in which certain individuals or groups in society are discriminated against and seen in a negative light because they deviate from social norms or "normal"standards of behavior.

. People who are stigmatized are frequently labeled as deviant.

People for example might be stigmatized because of their poverty. it is in research records that the poorer in society are often stigmatized, but also the same people are labelled as deviant. Such forms of deviance includes crime.
