Deviant Subculture Research paper

Choose a deviant subculture. [Remember, a subculture is more than a group–it is a bounded community and its members must interact with each other extensively and in so doing, create shared understandings, meanings, and values.] Demonstrate, with evidence, that members of this subculture are in fact stigmatized, rejected, or discriminated against, then explain why—in what ways does this subculture run afoul of mainstream values or expectations? Is it deviant-by-choice, or involuntarily deviant? How do people come to join this subculture, and what obstacles do they face as they enter or exit? Please note: must use Erving Goffman as one of the sources.
