Question: Why is it easier to dislocate a shoulder than to dislocate a hip when excessive forces are applied?
Answers:

You are talking about two different bone structures of which the hip is bigger. In the shoulder we have full range of motion in which most case people do have that capability in the hip. So the shoulder can be dislocated much easier than the hip. The ligaments and muscle in the shoulder are elongated where as the muscle in the hip are short and tighter. That is why the shoulder can be dislocated with ease.
