In this text, I discuss recent transformations in the socio-educational system and its relationship to the balance of power between youths and adolescents with faction alliances and other illicit markets actors in Alagoas, Brazil. I return to the conflict regulation/deregulation problem in the “peripheries”, in a context in which money and criminal network expansions become intertwined with urbanization sprawling to small and medium-sized cities in the North-Northeast. I highlight the following from fieldwork records and interviews carried out in juvenile facilities: a) the change in conflict regulation in prisons and poor neighbourhoods in Alagoas after the “alliance” rupture between CV and PCC gangs in 2016; and b) the need to reassess some of the terms through which social sciences vier the “popular” and the “peripheries” in a context of greater connection between illegal Central-South and North-Northeastern Brazilian markets. I apply a figurational approach
