I doubt anyone vicious enough to swarm and beat down someone is going to rationally decide not to do it at the moment of impact because of improvements to the Young Offenders Act. People like this are troubled, and often act before they think.
Stiffer penalties will probably not have any impact on a man pumped up on testosterone, lusting to knock someone out.
