Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The beard tax imposed by Tsar Peter the Great can be considered a conflict crime, as it was a law that was not universally agreed upon and was likely to be resisted by those who valued their beards for cultural or religious reasons. Conflict crimes are those that are subject to disagreement and may not be seen as inherently wrong by all members of society.
