Meaning of "in which"
Please some one tell me what is the meaning of "in which" and how can use that and what is the context that I can use that appropriately?
In Cambridge dictionary I've found the definition of the "crackdown" which is written in following.
crackdown : a situation in which someone starts to deal with bad or illegal behaviour in a more severe way
Even in above definition why they have used "in which" what would have happened if they had used only "which" instead of "in which". Would that make sense?

When we make a relative clause from components whose relationship is expressed by means of a preposition, the preposition is retained and placed before "which": I live in the city -> the city in which I live I work at the factory -> the factory at which I work I travel to work on the train -> the train on which I travel to work someone starts to deal with bad or illegal behaviour in a more severe way in a particular situation -> a situation in which someone starts to deal with bad or illegal behaviour in a more severe way dileepa what would have happened if they had used only "which" instead of "in which". Would that make sense? No.
