"Beast in the Garden" is specifically about mountain lions, but it refers to an animal behavior principal (Habituation--where an animal becomes "used to" a given situation due to constant exposure without consequences) that I think applies here.

Here is some information about coyote attacks on humans (mostly small children, since they are in the natural prey size range.)
