Alienated youth are often suffering of a form or another of psychiatric 
problems. They could be sub-clinical. Usually don't needing forced 
treatments. Usually don't are detected until much later, when the 
problems show clearly, they start abuse drugs and so on. Many alienated 
youth are simply alienated because they have poor behaviours, poor 
impulse control and poor tolerance to frustrations. They are more on the 
"borderline personality disorder" side.

Good rebels and criminals are from a different recipe than the normal 
out of the mill rebels and criminals (they are able to plan long term 
and execute, they are able to relate with others). They are there to 
climb the ladder of power and success with a different style and they 
don't give a damn to what someone else think or feel about them.
