Full. Stop.
We are told not to use the word "but" since it can be interpreted as a negation.

If you are the victim of a crime, you are not to blame. There are things you can to to lessen your chances of being a victim.

This is true for self defense, computer virus, and con games. Heck, it's even true of driving and avoiding accidents.
