Since it is urgent, I will attempt to answer, despite the
risk of being wrong.  You could try dev.copy2eps:

     `dev.copy2eps' is similar to `dev.print' but produces an EPSF
     output file, in portrait orientation (`horizontal = FALSE')

I think you can just use this command, and follow it with
dev.off().  Then I recall you have to rename the resulting output
to crime.eps.

You might also try adding horiz=F to your postscript command.

You could also try

\includegraphics[angle=90]{crime.eps}
or angle=-90, or whatever.

And I think you could also use graphicx commands instead of
resize...  For example, 
\includegraphics[angle=90,width=\textwidth]{crime.eps}

(I would let the height define itself.)
