Abstrak	Diffusion of Innovation (DOI) theory provides prescribed stages for an innovation to traverse, in order to obtain field adoption. This study utilised DOI theory to demonstrate the impact a manipu lated environment may have on diffusing public policy. Data were provided by the Office of Com munity Oriented Policing Services (the COPS Office). Analysis found that DOI theory does not hold in a manipulated environment. This research provides two considerations for adjusting DOI the ory: financial incentives and politics. First, organi sations with few resources may have equal access to innovations via government grants. Second, political agendas can be integral to diffusing an innovation.
