Dutch term or phrase: de verwevenheid tussen onder- en bovenwereld doorbreken
Dutch government's plans to enhance public safety, under a section entitled Veiligheid en leefomgeving:

Om de doelen van het Veiligheidsprogramma te verwezenlijken in 2008-2010 zullen we meer aandacht geven aan delicten die minder zichtbaar zijn, maar die de samenleving kunnen ontwrichten zoals financieel-economische criminaliteit en cybercrime. We willen **de verwevenheid tussen onder- en bovenwereld doorbreken**, onder andere door de inzet van nieuwe technologie. We hebben over deze onderwerpen nieuwe prestatieafspraken met de Nederlandse Politie gemaakt.
