I've never heard of a problem with crows - just hawks. Since I could not really say, I found this and hope it helps:
Aggression Towards Pets and Humans
Both pets and humans are far beyond the size of crow prey. Aggression is almost always the result of adult crows protecting nearby young and it limited to a very small area. It is a temporary situation that is best resolved by trying to avoid the area they are protecting. While it can be intimidating, crows really do not present a threat to humans, dogs or cats.
Unwanted Crows in the Neighborhood
Crows can sometimes be deterred from roosting or foraging in a given area. Loud sudden noises such a banging pots and pans together just before sunset can be effective in disrupting a roost location. There are also companies that sell distress calls. Scarecrows do work but only in a small geographic area and if they are built such that they move in the wind and are accompanied by some sort of noisemaker. Tightly covering garbage and compost will help reduce attractants.
