Criminal profiling and “prejudicial (racial) profiling”

What is the difference between criminal profiling and “prejudicial (racial) profiling”? First define both concepts, then answer, are they legal, moral, or acceptable?

Second, if a criminal profile suggests that a probable suspect, a serial rapist for example, is a minority male under the age of 40. Does this change your answer? Explain?
