Bad behaviour initially stamped out, but not stopped (5,2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

going on

'not stopped' is the definition.
(still going on)

I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.

(Other definitions for going on that I've seen before include "Continuing" , "reluctant to stop?" , "Almost" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
