Profiling enjoyed high repute until it came out that police forces had simplified Mr. Brussel's elaborate construct and crudely focused on a single factor - race.

For example, a profiling program called the Computer-Assisted Passenger Pre-Screening System (CAPPS) determines which passengers' baggage receives special scrutiny; it looks at such factors as gender, age, purchase with cash or credit card, time of check-in, type of luggage, and demeanor. रुपरेखा को अत्यंत उन्नत प्रतिष्ठा प्राप्त थी जब तक पुलिस बल ने श्रीमान ब्रसेल के निष्कर्ष का साधारणीकरण करते हुए उसे एक मात्र तत्व नस्ल पर केन्द्रीत कर दिया । निष्कर्षों को इस प्रकार कम करने की प्रवृत्ति पूर्वाग्रह से प्रेरित थी और इसके दो घातक प्रभाव हुए - रुपरेखा में नस्ल को एक तत्व मानने की परंपरा चल निकली और सामान्य तौर पर रुपरेखा की अधिक प्रतिष्ठा नहीं रही ।
