| Summary: | This paper aims to discuss the guidance of some of the policies targeted to extreme poverty in the Uruguayan progressive government framework. It intends to consider that some of these policies characterize/illustrate/report an increasingly criminalization of social insecurity. Current interventions and the orientations they expresse, would point out the increasingly hegemony of a conservative society even in the leftist social discourse. The following are some of the questions that orientate our thoughts: is it possible to speak about a form of government, in our country, that combines more social state and more criminal state, in the government of precariat?, how do social assistance and social control combine today and which socializing effects this new pattern has? In short, we debate how our country actually reaches the standardization of the poor and the goals it pursuits (some apparently conflicting/contending). To achieve this debate, we use a perspective that prioritizes the analysis of issues and persons that build such practices. Our analysis is based in Wacquant (2007, 2010), Topalov (2004) and Bauman (1998) perspectives, among others, and the study of various plans and government speeches
