Criminology

The analysis of competing hypotheses means that one takes into account the possible arguments against ones own hypothesis in an effort to formulate a hypothesis which can stand up against the forces of discredit and stand as a hypothesis which is able to be proven as highly factual.  In the study of criminology, it is important to be as factual as possible, because in many instances the lives of people depend on it.  No one wants to be marked as guilty when one is innocent, and no one should be.

Conducting analyses of competing hypotheses in criminology is highly significant, even if it means increasing the amount of bureaucratic investigation.  Only by making absolutely sure that the evidence collected truly spells out both a crime and a criminal is justice able to be served.  It is highly important for government agencies to take the surest route in deciding to rule against a suspect.  By analyzing competing hypotheses, people involved in criminology are able to whittle down their own hypotheses more exactly before subjecting their hypotheses to the test.
