I have no ethical qualms whatsoever, if the research is thorough and the writer adheres to the truth in as much as it can be determined. Forewarned is forearmed, and people need to understand the sort of predators that are out there.
My early life was marred by violence. People who haven't lived it don't want to believe it is out there and don't prepare. If books wake even a few up then that is a good thing.
