Which group is most capable of avoiding being falsely,erroneously,or unjustly labeled deviant?

A) The affluent
B) The poor
C) The powerful
D) The powerless

The powerful group, such as politicians, affluent businessmen, and celebrities, have more resources and social status to avoid being falsely, erroneously, or unjustly labeled deviant. They have the means to hire lawyers or public relations specialists to handle their image and mitigate negative attention. The powerless group, such as the poor and marginalized, have fewer resources and less social status, making it easier for them to be stigmatized or criminalized.
