This is so illogical.........if there is a crime committed, it is very unlikely Brit. nannies would even be considered with or without profiling. The problem with formal profiling is that its usually redundant........ typically, humans on their own already are performing informal profiling; profiling, btw, that usually is subject to a lot of error. By discouraging profiling, investigators are forced to consider more variables and not rely on informal profiling.

I have no idea what you are saying, and what you mean by formal or informal profiling.

Informal profiling is when one decides that a particular kind of person like a Muslim must be responsible for a particular crime because of past experiences you have had with that group of people. In other words, informal profiling is another term for biased conclusions.
