The Outsiders-Chapter 5
Are Johnny and Ponyboy victims or criminals?

They are victims. I haven't read the story in forever, but I absolutely remember them being victims. They get bullied by the Greaser's.

Explanation:

They are Victims

Explanation: It was self defense, they were attacked first, and they fought back. Explained to the cops they could have avoided everything but since they are greasers they really didnt know any better and thought they would get incarcerated, but they are victims, it was self defense.
