This study examines the relationship between multilingualism and criminality through the lens of symbolic interactionism theory. A qualitative approach was adopted, utilizing an ethnographic research design to explore the intricate connections between communication symbolism and deviant behavior within the Ghanaian cultural context. The researchers conducted semi-structured interviews with three (3) categories of participants: ten (10) deviant individuals, including criminals from Ankaful Prison and community members, eight (8) community members, and four (4) law enforcement officers. A purposive sampling method was employed to ensure participants possessed relevant expertise and firsthand knowledge of communication symbolism in deviant subcultures. The findings indicate that communication through multilingualism serves as an effective symbol of group identity and connection. Furthermore, the complex dynamics surrounding the stigmatization and labeling of language symbolism significantly impact the self-esteem of deviant individuals and their interactions with law enforcement. To effectively identify and understand such communication symbolism within deviant and criminal subcultures, this study suggests that policymakers establish a collaborative task force comprising law enforcement officers, community leaders, and cultural experts.
