A profile is a side view, often defined as 90 degrees from the front or back view.

Identification and Investigation

A "profile" is a set of characteristics for an individual or group of individuals that share some traits. For criminal identification, a profile establishes the likely age, appearance, psychology, or activities of an unknown suspect. "Racial profiling" or "ethnic profiling" refers to specifying a likely perpetrator by race or ethnic background, which may be a stereotype or over-generalization. This is often criticized as illegal or unfair, even where the available data would support such a profile, because of the basic assumption of innocence under US laws.

Answer 2

In a general sense, a profile refers to a summary or description of someone or something, often highlighting key characteristics, attributes, or achievements. In the context of social media or online platforms, a profile typically refers to a user's personal page where they can share information about themselves, such as their name, age, interests, and photos.
