I think you are referring to racial profiling.

This term is being used very loosely these days. If a police report is made about a Hispanic female robbing a bank, it would be counter productive if the police detained all Asian females within the area. Of course they are going to act on the information supplied and stop and question Hispanic females within a defined range of the crime scene.
