Judging from the way the criminals that Jon and Chie have encountered have acted towards them thus far (calling them freaks and corpses), it seems to me that ghosts are often looked at with fear and repulsion from the normal people.
That is correct!
One of the major themes in the story will be the tension between two groups. The general public fears and hates the ghosts for a good reason, but there are also benefits to having them around. Most of the main characters work towards changing/improving the situation or plan to escape it altogether; time will tell who succeeds and who doesn’t :)
