Answer:

The theory that best explains Tim's actions is social disorganization theory.

Explanation:

Social disorganization theory supports the idea that criminal behavior is due to the environment where a person grows up and subsequently where this person develops their life, it considers criminal behavior a consequence of several and constant negative stimulus and influences in the surroundings. Tim has grown into this environment and eventually, he felt the social pressure of becoming the same as his surroundings.
