the data collection process was too time-consuming
Just to show how time-consuming this process might have been, it consisted of two people doing google searches and assigning the names them to a handful of categories.
1 - I copied the list of signatories from their website.
2 -Gina Stuessy and I searched the internet for “(name) lawsuit”, “(name) crime” and also looked at their Wikipedia page.
3 -I categorized any results into “financial”, “sexual”, and “other”, and also marked if they had spent at least one day in jail.
4 -Gina and I eventually decided that the data collection process was too time-consuming, and we stopped partway through. The final dataset includes 115 of the 232 signatories.[2][3]
