so far 170/190 is safer than CRJ
Not sure if the difference is not less than the noise really.

Or to what extent it does not reflect age differences? Basically, what you have is that older CRJs got sold to outfits in places (Russia, Eastern Europe, or worse, where it's not safe to fly) to third rate operators. Which occasionally crash.

At thi point, I would say that both the E70/90 and the carious CRJs have a pretty good record. Not sure these differences are meaningful.
