Abstract	:	This policy process dissertation improves traditional diffusion theory by adding representation in the statehouse and measures of interest group narrative attention. The case is the reform of mandatory sentencing policy within the United States in the 2000s. I draw upon the Narrative Policy Framework (NPF), a relatively new approach to the study of the policy process, to incorporate a narrative measure within the diffusion model. Further, I use a traditional policy diffusion model to explore not only the spread of policy change, but also the spread of policy narratives. Logistic regression models explore whether a state reforms their mandatory sentencing policy. I use a type of event history analysis, Cox proportional hazards models, to explore the time to reform, or whether a state is an earlier versus later adopter of mandatory sentencing reform.
