Only in a limited way. Hawks have been known to watch human activity to see if it stirs up anything they can catch and eat. Some farming activity will catch the attention of the birds. They have been known to spot things to eat that vehicles have struck. Generally they just tend to themselves and ignore us, but give us a bit of room. That last means that if you walk up on a hawk that is sitting somewhere, he will only let you approach so close before flying off. Hawks operating in something less than rural or wilderness areas may let you approach closer than one from the wilds.

Hawks can be captured and tamed in the sport of falconry. They may not truly be tame, but can be taught to come to the fist and can be taught to hunt. The birds are held by licensed raptor handlers, and each state has its own laws regarding this. As a captured and held bird, the hawk relies on the human to feed and water it as well as provide a safe place for it to stay. It will also need to be flown at regular intervals to keep it healthy. Interaction between a hawk and a handler is somewhat like that between a person and his pet bird, except of course that the hawk remains largely wild and has nothing near the relationship with a handler that a pet bird can have with its owner.

No, a hawk is too small to eat a human, even if it was big enough it would have no interest in humans, they eat mice and stuff. PS by country i mean ENGLAND
