Abstract
In recent years novel psychoactive substances (NPS) have begun to pose a serious threat to public health and safety. Not only because of their dramatic increase in production and the reported increase of their abuse, but because of their ability to circumvent legislation and the difficulties involved in attempting to identify them. This literature review discusses NPS, the more prevalent classes of NPS, and current methods used for identifying them. The potential for algorithm based predictive modelling software as a technique for identifying NPS will also be investigated.
