Congrats on all of your acceptances! And on making a final decision! I am still waiting to hear from one more program.
I figure I would jump in here as I have also applied to a couple of crim programs. I got into PhD programs at Maryland, SUNY, and American's Justice, Law and Society program (which I guess is considered a crim program?). Has anybody visited any of the schools you got accepted into yet? I visited UMD and SUNY and they both seem great, but I always hear bad things about UMD in particular (cut-throat atmosphere among grad students, students stealing each other's research ideas, etc.). Has anybody else heard these rumors? How much faith do you put into what you hear about certain programs?
