I think the Gems are outlaws because they're considered traitors. My theory is that the Crystal Gem species sent Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl, Rose, Lapis, and a bunch of other Gems to Earth to exterminate the human populace to make way for a colony, because the Crystal Gems are a warmongering species hiding behind the facade of benevolence. Problem is, Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl, and Rose came to love humanity, while Lapis and the other Gems declared them traitors. So, the rogue Gems corrupted them, turned them into monsters, and kept them imprisoned.

When they saw Peridot. the surviving rogue Gems knew they were in danger of being discovered. Had they been discovered, Peridot would have stated she heard about their betrayal from Lapis and try to kill them for treason. She would be particularly disgusted with Steven the half-breed, and try to kill him first. No good, though, since Steven's shield would bounce all of the attacks back at her, forcing her to regenerate. Then, they would corrupt Peridot, turning her into a monster, and imprison her. It would be at this point Steven would be pissed, before his memory of what just transpired would be wiped.
