In order to understand the difference between pigeon removal to crow removal, first we shall learn about the damages that each group creates.
The human kind nurtured the Pigeons and the crows consciously or unconsciously.
The crows are known to be omnivores, so as such they eat fruits in the fields (watermelon or melon fields) and pecan nuts which can be found abundantly in the orchards. Corpses of other animals that were ran down by cars, leftovers out of the garbage and chicks and young cubs of other animals.
The Pigeons are vegetarian so the lion's share of their meal is seeds and kernels which can be found abundantly in fields, cowsheds, wheat granaries, bakeries etc.
Food "stealing" is a fine motive for the man to methods against birds such as pigeons and crows.
Crows build their nests on trees and crannies in the rocks as opposed to the pigeons which prefer nesting in buildings and create a severe amount of mess, transfer diseases, spread bad smells and increase the parasites economy.

Crows are smart birds which have a well-developed memory. There have been cases when a bunch of crows attacked humans that they suspected to harm their chicks.
Sometimes, if a chick falls of a nest, the flock searches for it and if there are people somewhere by, they might be attacked by the vicious birds while innocent of any crime.
The pigeons are different on this case, if the chicks of the pigeon are been taken away, it will simply move on to another location until the next nesting season.
The pigeons create damage in the buildings: dirt on the walls, eaves trough plugging damage to cars and damage to stock in stores and storerooms.
Crows harm the nature (including other birds).
As a result of the food abundance, the number of crows in the nature was raised excessively so lack of territories was created.

Crows gain control on all of the territories, so instead of flying to the distance in the search for food, they eat voraciously the chicks and cubs of other animals, turtles, lizards etc.
As an answer for the damages and diseases that the birds brought, the human developed methods for bird control, some of the bird control methods are specialized for pigeons and some for crows.
The "techniques" of pigeons and crows have a little in common so that is way the solution for each kind is different.
Opposed to the pigeon, the crow does not transfer diseases and create mess therefore the motivation for the crow's removal is much lower.

Pigeon removal [ bird control which is specialized against pigeons ] is done by two main bird control products :
Pigeon nets - pigeon nets prevent the entrance of pigeons to laundering rooms, roof space, warehouses, hangars etc.
The installation is very simple; stretching of a circumferential cable around the open and attachment of the net to the cable by threading or by using small rings.
Pigeon nets provide a 100% solution for preventing the pigeons' entrance.
Crows do not intrude building therefore using bird nets for crow removal is pretty rare.

Stainless Steel Bird Spikes - The pigeons' nuisance does not come to fruition by intruding building only, but by landing on gutters, building edges, air conditioners, roof tiles, banisters and windowsill and leaving their bird droppings anywhere by as well.

On most cases, the solution for this problem is pasting elastic bird spikes to the landing area which prevent the pigeons from landing. A similar solution is achieved by using bird coil or bird wire.
Crows land on edges and protuberances of objects such as buildings, antennas, water tanks, signs, and telephone or electricity posts. Therefore there is a similar solution against the crows; a special stainless steel bird spikes called Y model. Bird wire and bird coils don't affect the crows.
Crows create a lot of damage in (watermelon and melon) fields as well as in pecan orchards; the solution for this problem is a huge net trap:

The trap looks like a great cage with a roof designed in a 'V' shape which has an open at the bottom of the 'V'. A crow and bait are placed inside the trap, other crows fly in but they can't get out because of their big wing span [which is bigger than the open of the cage]. This cage causes death to many of the crows so I oppose to it.
Traps for capturing pigeons are in use mainly in big warehouses and airports but not infields - in fields the solution is usually shooting or using crow dummies.
