Which of the following is NOT an example of a non-criminal justice record used to find missing persons?

Employment records
Driving records
Social security records
Public school records

The correct answer is: Driving records

Driving records are indeed used primarily within the realm of criminal justice for licensing, traffic violations, and vehicle registrations, which makes them less relevant as a non-criminal justice record in the context of finding missing persons. Non-criminal justice records typically refer to information that is not directly tied to criminal activity or law enforcement, yet can provide valuable insights into a person's whereabouts or status. Employment records, social security records, and public school records all fit this category since they provide information about a person's life circumstances, obligations, or historical presence that may assist in locating them without directly involving criminal justice processes. These records can reveal employment history, educational backgrounds, or other social connections that might indicate where a person was last seen or where they may be located now. Therefore, the distinction lies in the primary usage of the records in relation to criminal justice.
