In times of juvenile criminal intesenfication, with the processing of the reduction in the criminal age and the increase of imprisionment as justification for the expansion of violence in the country, the exploratory research of a qualitative nature aimed to analyze how the implementation of socioeducational measures in open environment in the metropolitan region of Natal, considering the characterization of socio-educational assistance programs, political order, flow and service strategies. Thus the methodological delineation consisted of two stages, the first, a documentary research, in which it was sought to build the characterization of the general data about the metropolitan region, and, mainly, how the juvenile accountability was conformed. The survey took as a reference the year 2012, when Law No. 12,594 becomes effective. The second stage, data collection, was planned in two moments, semi-structured interviews with managers of the municipal management body and service of execution of socio-educational measures in open environment and focus group with the technical teams of the services. It was observed that the Municipal Policy of Socio-Educational Assistance is not yet consolidated in the metropolitan region, there is a confusion between service execution and policy execution. It was also observed the fragility of the participation of the sector policies that compose the policy of socio-educational service, in the same way as the other entities that compoese the System of Guarantee of Rights. The implementation of the measure occurs within the framework of precariousness of the links and working conditions of the Social Assistance Policy. There is a culture of implementing cumulative of the Community Service and Probation measures. Regarding the process of implementing the measure, a shift in the centrality of the focus of the measure was observed, since the goals and strategies of the Individual Care Plan are defined and monitored by the teams, without the adolescent being in the centrality of the socio-educational process. It is understood that even with the normative advance proposed by the legislation after the Federal Constitution, the approximations and reproductions of the punitive logic of the Códigos de Menores continue defining the SocioEducational Policy, from the relationship with the Justice System to the pedagogical practices developed.
