Jerry participates in a variety of extreme sports, smokes weed, has gotten into bar fights, and occasionally involves himself in a burglary with friends. He performed poorly in school and was raised in a low-income, single-parent household. His mom worked two jobs and was not around often to monitor Jerry's activities when he was younger, most of which were delinquent in nature. What theory is best described in this scenario?

    Inadequate parenting.

    Explanation:

    Inadequate parenting style is also known as uninvolved parenting style. This parenting style was developed by other researchers in the later years after Baumrind theorised three types of parenting styles.

    These types of parents are less emotionally connected with their children and seldom involved in their lives. They provide for their needs but neglect their emotional needs.

    In the given case, Jerry's mother was less involved in Jerry's life though she provided for his needs. This neglect led Jerry in criminal activities and consuming drugs. So, the correct answer is inadequate parenting.
