Studies have noted that the police in Africa cannot tackle witchcraft accusations; the police refuse to protect the accused because police officers believe in witchcraft and allow their personal witchcraft fears, and anxieties to determine their work and profession.

Alleged witches are innocent and need police protection. The laws of Malawi guarantee their rights, safety and protection.
